We got a wonderful package in the mail this week. Our 2021 Special Recognition Achievement Award from the American Council of the Blind's #AudioDescription Project! Thanks again to @ACBnational and @ADPwebmaster for this amazing honour.
ALT Special Recognition Award from the American Council of the Blind's Audio Description Project, presented to Christine Malec and JJ Hunt of the Talk Description to Me podcast, July 2021. Plaque framed in glossy red wood, with a Braille overlay on the glass.
Ready for part two of our episode on #AI generated description? In the first episode we gave #BeMyAI some easy, straightforward images to describe. This time, we try to get saucy. Emphasis on TRY! #a11y #AudioDescription #BlindTwitter buzzsprout.com/1136756/13724…
Have you experienced #AI generated visual description recently? It’s gotten shockingly impressive very fast! This week we examine real world examples of AI Description in the first of a two part series. #AudioDescription #A11y buzzsprout.com/1136756/13724…
Bonus episode! Today Christine goes on a guided walk through Warden Woods Ravine with Arborist Todd Irvine and friend of the #podcast Describer @SinghRebecca. Check it out! #AudioDescription buzzsprout.com/1136756/13592…
Hey #BlindTwitter and #AudioDescription fans! It's been busy here at #TalkDescriptionToMe HQ, but we recently had a night off and got chatting about favourite #StarTrek shows. To celebrate #StarTrekDay we switched on our mics and recorded a new episode! buzzsprout.com/1136756/13547…
Do you know the story of Toronto’s Little Jamaica neighbourhood, or Africville in Halifax? Have you heard the legend of John “Daddy” Hall? Ever been to Rockhead’s Paradise in the Harlem of the North? Hear JJ tell these description-rich #BHM stories at:

To honour and celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth the @CNIB invited me to gather stories from Black history in Canada, and tailor the telling to a #Blind audience. These description-rich stories are now available as a podcast. #BHM #BlindTwitter #AudioDescription podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…
I’m preoccupied by that thing where sighted people feel like they’re being looked at, then they turn and find someone staring at them. I’ve always been blind and never experienced it. Why don’t people call this telepathy? Have other blind people experienced it? -C

Oh for a library of 3D models of fictional space ships. SciFi geeks who don't experience the world visually miss out, cause there usually isn't time in audio description of movies or TV for the extended descriptions we crave.

And like a new bright star added to the firmament, another description-rich astronomy gem from Josh Urban, mixaphorically speaking.

Continuing to turn his description powers to good, @RealJoshUrban tackles literally the most foggy subject in the world, fog. Check previous posts for some lovely astronomy descriptions.
It was a foggy day yesterday. Here's a blog about it, plus some philosophy, and alt text for my blind buddies. joshurban.substack.com/p/fog #AltText #Blind #Writing #Philosophy #Fog
