Customer Reviews
Eye-opening experience
This show is phenomenal. Steve is a very likeable personality, and is having some very meaningful discussions
Great passion and funny
I've been following Steve since his first podcasts (something like 10 years?) with Black Shadow. Steve is a great guy, passionate, and funny (and had some great writing/stories back in the day - go find his Black Shadow work!). Steve getting into accessibility and gaming is great. He has his own vision issues (hence the title of the podcast) and loves playing video games and now appears to be focusing and advocating much more for accessibility in video games. He brings his passion for gaming and equal opportunity to the podcast. I think it's a really great fit and look forward to what's to come.
