In this episode of iCantCU, I discuss several days of being out and about. While two days were only for doctor visits, one was an enjoyable, sometimes scary evening at Eastern State Penitentiary. Their Halloween Nights are legendary, and I finally got to go as part of a Philly Meetup For The Blind event. You can hear some of the fun in an extended Just Listen. You’ll hear all the chilling sounds and characters. It was hilarious, and I appreciated how one guy dropped his creepy English accent to direct me to the exit.

In episode 084, Simon and I speak with Bradford and Bryan Manning from Two Blind Brothers. They tell us about their Stargardt’s diagnosis as young kids. They explain how a trip to an NYC department store, getting separated from each other, and then realizing they both bought the same shirt led to creating their apparel brand. They also discuss their company’s profit sharing with eye research organizations to find cures for retina-related diseases.
