Standout sessions, tech, and trends

Episode Notes
Join host Anthony Corona for another heartfelt edition of An Intimate Evening With. This time we welcome Nikki, who takes us on an emotional journey through her music, her life, and her story. Nikki opens up about her recording process and shares the tips and lessons she has picked up during years of performing karaoke and learning the craft of production. She also reflects on the friends and mentors who helped her gain access, build skills, and sharpen her talents into beautifully produced music. Together with Anthony, Nikki guides us through the highs, the challenges, and the joys of her creative path. Along the way expect a few surprises, including an appearance from mutual friend Jack, who brings his own warmth and perspective to the conversation. Tune in for Da Vinci, An Intimate Evening with Nikki. This is more than music; it is a glimpse into the heart of creativity, resilience, and friendship. Plus experience the bonus duet: next time I fall recorded by Anthony and Nikki, especially for this intimate evening.
Episode Notes
This episode of Sunday Edition takes us deep into the spiritual and ethical heart of how we live, love, and advocate within the blind and low vision community.
Titled "Do Unto Others; Love Thy Neighbor—Concepts, Skills, or a Way of Living," this powerful conversation features returning guests and cherished friends of the show: Lorna, Lorna, Mark, and Reverend DJ.
Together, we reflect on two timeless teachings:
<pre>"Love thy neighbor as thyself." — Leviticus 19:18
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." — Luke 6:31
</pre>
But what do these teachings really mean in today's world? Are they just ideas to aspire to, or can they become intentional practices and a way of being?
And how do they play out within our own community—especially during moments of internal conflict, misunderstandings, and growing pains?
We discuss:
<pre>What it means to extend grace and compassion when systems fail us—and when our own peers do
The importance of spiritual grounding in a time of isolation, political hostility, and advocacy burnout
The line between righteous anger and intentional harm
Navigating ableism, gatekeeping, and internalized oppression
How we can disagree without demeaning, correct without condemning, and lead with love—even when it's hard
</pre>
We were also joined by Sunday Edition regulars Christine, Gabriel, and Peter, whose insights and questions deepened the conversation and invited powerful reflections on how we show up for one another.
This episode is a call-in of the soul: a reminder that kindness, justice, and faith are not mutually exclusive—and that how we treat each other matters, especially in a world that often overlooks us.

Episode Notes
Monday at 8 PM Eastern on 2020 The Beacon
Sunday Edition and Behind the Music host Anthony Corona brings you a heartfelt blend of conversation and performance in this month’s An Intimate Evening with…, featuring the deeply talented and delightfully charming duo, Lisa and Ron Brooks. From dazzling romantic duets to expressive solo performances, Ron and Lisa shine with their love of karaoke and music-making.
But this night goes beyond the mic—we talk about their marriage, creative process, favorite projects, hobbies away from the karaoke stage, and what drives their joyful artistry. An Intimate Evening airs on the first Monday of each month on 2020 The Beacon. Don’t forget—you can also catch Behind the Music on the second and fourth Friday of every month at 7 PM Eastern, only on 2020 The Beacon. We absolutely loved getting to know Lisa and Ron, and we can’t wait to see (and hear!) what they bring us next.
Episode Notes
This past Sunday on Sunday Edition, we celebrated pride, love, and possibility. 🌈❤️
We opened the show with warm congratulations for Mike Walsh on his recent engagement and upcoming wedding, kicking off Pride Month’s final week with love, joy, and community spirit.
Then we dove into an inspiring conversation with two powerhouse leaders in the world of blind travel: Mike May and Mike Walsh.
Mike May, a legend in adaptive tech and the subject of the bestselling book Crashing Through, spoke candidly about the vulnerabilities and power of sharing both struggles and triumphs with the broader world. He encouraged listeners to break out of their comfort zones, embrace the unknown, and experience the world through the lens of travel and exploration. 🌍✈️
Mike Walsh, Executive Director of the Blind Travel Foundation, shared the mission behind this dynamic new nonprofit—connecting blind and low vision travelers to resources, mentorship, and funding to help them realize their dreams of independent and meaningful travel.
Together, the Mikes discussed how travel is not just a luxury—it’s access, identity, and self-expression. They invited listeners to help grow the movement by donating or becoming sponsors. These contributions support projects that marry travel with purpose, helping members of our community expand their horizons and experience success.
We also previewed the upcoming Blind Travel Summit, happening in Austin, Texas on November 13 and 14, 2025. It promises to be a landmark gathering for advocates, travelers, innovators, and allies.
From advocacy to adventure, tech to trailblazing, this episode reminded us what’s possible when community, access, and wanderlust come together. 💪💼🌟

Episode Notes
This special Pride Month episode of Sunday Edition brought together a powerful panel of voices from our LGBTQIA+ community and allies to discuss a topic that feels more urgent than ever: why Pride still matters, now more than ever.
Host Anthony Corona was joined by four incredible panelists: Gabriel Lopez Kafati Tristan Snyder Margot Downey Brynn Lowden
Together, we explored the heart of Pride—what it means, how far we’ve come, and what we’re still fighting for. From celebration to protest, from visibility to vulnerability, our panelists reminded us why Pride is not just a party—it’s a promise.
Key topics included:
<pre>Why Pride remains essential in 2025
How anti-LGBTQIA+ laws and rhetoric are affecting our most vulnerable
The importance of staying vigilant, staying safe, and staying visible
How we can reach into our history of advocacy and remix those lessons for today's landscape
The symbolic and symbiotic connection between joy and resistance
</pre>
We celebrated our triumphs, acknowledged the ongoing struggles, and centered the importance of unity across identity, gender, ability, and experience.
While this episode centered voices from across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, we also highlighted the essential role of our strong, straight, and steadfast allies. There is a seat at the table for everyone who comes with love, comes with pride, and is ready to speak truth to power.
