The Blind Chick
Aftersight
The Blind Chick is an Aftersight Original hosted by Penn and Moses Street. It’s a raw, real, and often funny conversation space where blindness isn’t a limitation—it’s part of the story. Each episode dives into the lives of blind and low-vision people, exploring resilience, identity, and the messy, beautiful realities of living without sight. With heart, humor, and honesty, The Blind Chick breaks stereotypes, challenges stigma, and reminds us all that blindness is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a new one.

Surviving 9/11
Penn is joined by an amazing man who has authored and spoken worldwide since 2003. Michael is a survivor of 9/11. He was on the 78th floor of Tower 1 when the plane hit. Through his guide dog, he was able to make it down the stairs and out of the building. When people started shouting, his guide dog knew how to get him to safety before Tower 2 fell. It's important to remember how to not only know a route but to explore your surroundings and areas when working travel or living. We hope you enjoy this episode.
