Our weekly collection of the happiest stories in the world. This week, how hope and perseverance prevailed in the rescue of 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in India. Also: a set of earbuds that could revolutionise wheelchair mobility. And celebrating 100 years of Scottish dancing.
This episode explored how AI is transforming assistive technology to expand accessibility for the disabled. We learned how modern AI enables advanced screen readers, speech recognition, facial/emotion detection and more. A case study on Be My Eyes showed how humans and AI can collaborate to give on-demand sight to the blind through video chat. While limitations remain, the future looks bright for AI to remove barriers, grant independence and empower the disabled.
This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence. We do fact check with human eyes, but there might still be hallucinations in the output.

Talking dogs. Rolled Rs. That dangly thing in the back of your throat. Speech impediments. Alternative forms of communication. And talking cats. World famous speech pathologist by day, dog whisperer also by day, Christina Hunger MA, CCC-SLP joins us to talk about what those letters after her name mean, helping people literally find their voice, AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), different types of language and communication, and how she applied the same principles to gift her dog with the ability to emotionally manipulate her. A tale as old as time. Learn about emerging schools of thought around the ethics of differing modes of interpersonal communication, and just maybe how you can teach your most beloved angels how to demand more cheese in plain language.
