Sunday Edition PresentsAir Travel: The Good, the Bad and the UglyA Conversation About Experience and Solution

This week’s episode of SUNDAYEDITION dives into a timely and necessary discussion about air travel, accessibility, and the lived experiences of blind and low vision travelers. Many Sunday Edition audience members know that I, Anthony Corona, recently attended the Blind Travel Summit. In a serious twist of irony, the trip home from that very summit resulted in one of the worst air travel experiences of my life. The airline in question was dismissive and abrasive at best, and at worst their actions violated my civil rights through bullying, lack of communication, and a refusal to follow basic protocol.

This experience fueled my determination to bring the conversations we had at the Blind Travel Summit directly to our community. I invited friends from the summit, including Mika, Jean, Pen, and Jeremy, to join me for a deeper roundtable conversation. Lifelong air-travel advocate Gabriel also joined us, sharing perspectives shaped by decades of experience. Together, we explored the good, the bad, and the unfathomably ugly realities of travel while centering solution-based advocacy, equitable practices, and the need for true understanding baked into hiring, training, and infrastructure across the industry.

This conversation will serve as a springboard for a broader initiative in the air travel space. We are already arranging a follow-up meeting with accessibility teams, operations, and executive leadership from several major airlines. As of this taping, three airlines have committed to participating in a January 7 conversation aimed at improving access, dignity, and consistency for all travelers with disabilities.

🎙️ Episode: Holiday Shopping Made Accessible with Patrick Long of InnoSearch The holiday shopping season is here, and with it comes the often-frustrating challenge of navigating inaccessible websites, complex checkout forms, and flashing deals. In this episode, Roberto and Anthony sit down with Patrick Long, co-founder of InnoSearch, to discuss how his platform is designed to eliminate these barriers for blind and low-vision users. Patrick details the “accessibility layer” that powers InnoSearch, which functions as a unified, seamless portal for e-commerce, flight bookings, and even grocery delivery. We explore the platform’s 24/7 AI-powered phone assistant, the new native iOS app, and the future of their powerful Cobrowse AI technology. 🎁 Special Offer for Listeners! InnoSearch is offering a $10 gift card (delivered as a coupon code) to the first 10 listeners of this episode! To enter, send an email to [email protected] with the word “Cobrowser” in the subject line. Discussion Highlights In this conversation, we cover:

• What is InnoSearch? A brief introduction for new users, detailing its mission to consolidate shopping, travel, and food delivery into one accessible experience.
• The AI Phone Assistant: A deep dive into the 24/7 toll-free line (1–855-SHOP-GPT) that allows users to shop the entire 1-billion-product catalog using conversational voice commands.
• New iOS App: Patrick discusses the recent launch of the InnoSearch mobile app for iOS and the roadmap for integrating the full voice AI experience.
• How InnoSearch Handles Deals: Worried about missing out on Black Friday or Prime Deals? Patrick explains how the platform captures time-sensitive sales in real-time without the overwhelming and inaccessible “flash deal” user interface.
• Security & Accounts: An important look at how user data is secured (using Stripe) and the benefits of creating an account (1% cashback, $10 referrals) versus checking out as a guest.
• The Future: Cobrowse AI & Accessible Storefronts: Learn about InnoSearch’s new ventures, including a feature that allows BLV entrepreneurs to build their own accessible stores on the platform, and the AI tool that businesses can add to their own websites.

Sunday Edition Spotlight: The Blind Travel Summit 2025 – Day Two Teaser

In this special Sunday Edition Spotlight, I am giving you a first look into day two of the Blind Travel Summit 2025. The full details and presentations are coming soon, but this teaser captures the energy, excitement, and unforgettable firsts that made the day so memorable.

Day two began with a milestone moment for me. I took my very first autonomous vehicle ride using the Waymo and Uber partnership. From the precise pick up to the smooth and confident navigation across Austin, the experience was both surreal and empowering. Riding in a fully automated vehicle for the first time opened a brand new chapter in independence and access. I cannot wait to share the full story, reflections, and reactions with you.

Once I arrived at the Texas School for the Blind, the day was filled with incredible sessions, advocacy conversations, and travel insights. I cannot give too much away yet, but I can promise you that the content coming from the Blind Travel Summit will be packed with information about accessible travel, upcoming changes in transportation, and what organizations like Open Doors are doing to expand options for all of us.

This episode is meant to tease everything that is coming your way. Over the next several days and weeks, I will be releasing videos and extended coverage of the presentations, interviews, and travel demonstrations across the entire Sunday Edition landscape. You will be able to find them in Above the Fold, the Sunday Edition News Facebook Group, on The Anthony Corona Substack, on Anthonycorona.com, and of course right here on Sunday Edition itself.

Stay tuned for much more. The Blind Travel Summit brought powerful conversations, honest advocacy, and a glimpse of what accessible travel can look like in the future. I cannot wait to share it all with you.

• : Kicking Open the Audiobook Narration Studio Door with Dina Perlman 

• Guest Spotlight: Dina Perlman

• Dina Perlman is an Audie Award nominated narrator with more than three hundred audiobooks to her name; she trained at Carnegie Mellon University and built a dynamic career as an actress, comedian, and storyteller in New York City. On screen she is known for Sex and the City as Ruby Rosen the jeweler; Spike Lee’s Bamboozled as Myrna Goldfarb; and guest turns across prestige television including The Good Fight; Blue Bloods; The Sopranos; Law and Order; Law and Order Criminal Intent; Third Watch; FBI; New Amsterdam; and Harlem. On stage and in clubs she has honed a sharp stand up voice and brings that timing and character sense to the booth.

• Audiobook Highlights

• We Know Dina from her beautiful Narration of Sunday Edition Collaborator and Friend Barb Hinske novels including Coming to Rosemont 

• Epic fantasy listeners know Dina for Polgara the Sorceress by David Eddings and Leigh Eddings; science fiction fans have followed her command performances through Mike Shepherd’s universes including Kris Longknife Redoubtable and the Vicky Peterwald series like Rebel; contemporary mystery and thriller fans will recognize her from multi narrator projects such as Wicked Wanted Widows as well as stand alone titles ranging from Christmas Moon by J R Rain to timely nonfiction and essay collections. Across genres Dina blends crisp pacing with vivid character work and emotional nuance.

• Inside the Studio

• We open the door on process; preparing a script; marking breaths and beats; choosing character anchors; and protecting the voice during long sessions. Dina shares practical notes on building stamina; tracking continuity and adapting to remote workflows. We also get real about auditions; rejection; and resilience; how to navigate rates; rights; and realistic timelines; and how to advocate for accessibility and inclusion in casting and production.

• Ambition; Balance; and the Filter of Love

• A through line in our conversation is ambition guided by values. Dina talks about choosing projects that resonate; saying no when the calendar is already full; and using love and family as the filter for major life choices. We explore how that compass steadies a creative career through feast and famine; how boundaries protect both the art and the human; and how making room for relationships and rest actually sharpens the work.
