Not sure if anyone would be interested, but the Internet Archive has a huge collection of old time radio shows from the 1930s and 40s especially. These include dramas, mysteries, horror, comedy, etc. Unfortunately, the website isn’t super voiceover friendly, but it’s possible to use. Anyway, thought I’d toss this out there. https://archive.org/details/radioprograms

FYI: I’ve got RP, with some very narrow, but still decent, central vision. But I need a white cane to get around safely. I’ve got two questions about people trying to help me get around. I live in the US:

Question one: when someone offers to guide me, I know the normal procedure is to grab one of their elbows. But I really prefer to put my hand on their shoulder, so I usually ask if that’s OK. Is there any advantage to me to using the elbow instead?

Question two: I’ve had several experiences when people don’t offer to help, but just grab me and push or pull. Not sure how to react, since they’re really just trying to help, but I don’t understand why anyone would do that without asking if it’s ok with me first

“ In October, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on a core recourse for protecting disabled people’s civil rights: The ability to sue private businesses for inaccessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act.” https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2023/07/disability-testers-keep-businesses-accessible-will-scotus-ban-them/

I am wondering if there’s a rapid way to switch between two voiceover voices. The only method I know involves going to settings-voiceover-speech-voices-scroll down etc. etc. etc., which is really too much. I’m thinking there must be an easier way, either using a customize rotor, or just telling Siri.
