ACB Tuesday Topics

I think particularly people who are born blind often assume they know a lot more about how sports work than they actually do! I know that I take formations in football for granted and don’t have a good understanding of how players are placed in cricket even though these are sports I follow. It will … Read more

Tuesday Topics will take a big risk! Lots of our shows depend on hearing from guests. We sometimes invite several guests to join us! This time we are making a different sort of invitation! We are inviting affiliates to tell us what they do to build membership! Virtually everybody knows about BITS and its hugely … Read more

This is the time of year when our affiliates are getting ready to send in membership lists so we thought it might be a good thing to talk about the good, the bad and the ugly about how we are doing at the local, state and national level at encouraging new members. It’s generally accepted … Read more

It is still January so many people will still have a pretty good memory of what happened last year! We thought it would be fun to ask you to think back to last year and tell us about some cool things you found last year. We would like to hear about the best book you … Read more

Those of you who have been long time listeners to our show can probably guess what our topic is. At the end of each year we like to review the events that those of us on the team and you think are the most significant things that have happened during this year. We are pretty … Read more

There appears to be a whole range of ways that the brain reacts to picturing something with one’s eyes closed. I listened to a recent program where a condition was described that intrigued me. The term I heard was "afantesia" but that appears not to be the correct name of the condition. Essentially people who … Read more

Last year we featured a play with blind actors from our ACB Sacramento chapter. We hope to have them on in the future to share their latest project! On our show this time we feature a group based in Pennsylvania interested in "improv". Sue Lichtenfels from Out of Sight Improv will join us for the … Read more

Tuesday Topics will once more tackle an issue that we think deserves atffention. We live in polarizing times! Politically our nation is perhaps more divided than it has ever been. Within our very own organization it sometimes seems that civil discourse is replaced by uncivil recourse to inappropriate messaging. Are there ways to defuse this … Read more
