This episode of Bay Curious is a little bit different.

This week, the show tags along with Bryan Bashin, CEO of LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, to give us a taste of what it’s like to navigate a loud and chaotic city while blind.

This episode is meant to be a truly immersive experience for your ears. So put on your headphones, settle in and turn the sound up. You can listen by clicking the play button above or on your podcast player of choice.

To hear more amazing sound experiences, check out Chris and Sam’s podcast, “The World According to Sound.”
