Double Tap

Double Tap is a tech show built around blindness as a daily operating system, not a side topic. Stephen Scott and Sean Preece talk through the devices, apps, updates, services, and household tools that shape everyday access. The show has a loose, radio-style energy. It can be silly without losing the point. A discussion of Google Glasses, Surface pricing, or Amazon moving into space can sit near a practical argument about what a computer buyer actually needs. A listener email about a voice-activated air fryer becomes evidence of something bigger: accessibility works best when it is part of the product from the start. The show returns often to screen readers, VoiceOver, NVDA, Safari, WhatsApp, Facebook, smart speakers, streaming services, and audio description. It also pays attention to frustration. Invisible buttons, unreliable browser behavior, missing audio description, and awkward password tools are treated as real barriers, not minor annoyances. That gives the conversation useful edge. Double Tap is not only about faults, though. The excerpts show curiosity around AI coding, NVDA add-ons, smart glasses, accessible appliances, and new ways blind users can build or adapt tools for themselves. The weekend interviews widen the lens. Garth and Jordi talk about blind parenting in practical, physical terms, from reins to finding a child in the house. Clive Jones describes living after sight loss and the support connected to Blind Veterans UK. Those pieces keep the tech from floating away into abstraction. The show’s value is its mix of banter, product sense, access knowledge, and lived detail. It suits discovery because the subject range is concrete: mainstream tech, assistive technology, listener workarounds, and the messy gap between what companies ship and what blind users need.
