So far I'm not impressed with agogo's web interface. First of all it won't let
you get anywhere unless you update to the latest version of your browser. Then
it doesn't appear to provide users with any chance of setting up a username and
password, even though it calls for one. Am I missing something here?

For those of us who are getting frustrated with the ever changing Stitcher
interface, here is a similar free streaming podcast player that is actively
making a point to reach out to the large community of blind users to provide
great content. The app is 100% voiceover accessible, and I believe there is an
Android version as well.

Hello from AGOGO!
Back in late 2013, a big, bright lightbulb went off in our heads: We realized
AGOGO's listening service was the perfect thing to fill a void for the blind
and sight-impaired community. News, sports, music, lifestyle – it's all here
in one convenient place. Thanks to an amazing partnership with LightHouse
Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, we ignited a passion to learn the
right way to do this, and we set out to make it happen.
Fast forward to now. In addition to making all of AGOGO's audio universally
accessible, we just launched a dedicated Universal Access channel. It's stocked
with stellar programming from some of the best accessibility networks (like ACB
Radio, AppleVis, BBC In Touch, and more) out there.
That's where you come in: Our Universal Access Channel is still growing, and
we're always looking for new networks and shows to add in order to make it even
better. We'd love to hear your show suggestions, comments, and feedback! Just
respond to this email, and we will get right back to you. And, as always, feel
free to pass this email along to your friends to spread the word.
Love, Team AGOGO
Below, we've included a taste of AGOGO programming, from accessibility focused
shows to audio we just think is awesome.
1. Valerie Hunter: Movies for the Blind This program is perfect for visually
impaired movie and television fanatics. Valerie Hunter is an absolute whiz at
mixing original movie soundtracks and narration to describe important scenes
from your favorite movies as they happen. She's tackled American Psycho, The
Cooler, and much more.
2. AppleVis: AppleVis Podcast For the tech savvy and Apple product users
amongst us, the AppleVis Podcast is all you'll need. This show includes
walk-throughs and demos of apps, tips on using iOS and Mac OS X, and accessory
reviews.
3. BBC In Touch: News for Blind People This BBC show offers the most up-to-date
news, views, and information for the blind and visually impaired.
4. Mike Lloyd: The Blind Sport Show This twice-monthly audio treat includes
excellent recorded interviews, news, hints and tips, and personal opinions on a
huge range of topics related to blind sport.
5. NPR: Fresh Air from WHYY Who doesn't love interviews with host Terry Gross?
Fresh Air is fearless in the subjects and issues it tackles on a daily basis.
You'll never get bored of this one.
6. WBEZ Chicago: This American Life One of the most popular shows in the
country, This American Life and its amiable host Ira Glass dive deep into one
quirky theme each week, exploring multitudes of different perspectives along
the way. If there was ever a show that better illustrates all the walks of life
in America, we haven't found it.
7. MSNBC: Ronan Farrow Daily Ronan Farrow is one of MSNBC's newest show hosts,
and he's proven unwilling to shy away from covering some of the most
controversial issues in the news. He asks tough questions, and tells compelling
stories. We think he's the next Anderson Cooper.
8. ACB Radio: Speaking Out for the Blind A project of the American Council of
the Blind, ACB Radio streams via the internet, up-to-date and relevant
information worldwide, provides programming produced by blind programmers, and
is a platform on which blind musicians and artists express their talents.
9. BBC: Documentary of the Week Each week, BBC produces an in-depth audio
documentary on a guaranteed fascinating topic. Recent episodes include
examinations of Generation X, a history of irony, and China's rise. Their
latest episode about the new race to land on the moon is a must-listen.
10. New York Times: Inside the New York Times Book Review One of the most
respected publications on Earth delivers its top-notch book review show each
week, featuring author interviews of the most interesting books on the market.
11. WNYC: Soundcheck with John Schaefer If you want to nerd out on music, this
is your show. There's no telling what subject or angle Soundcheck and its host
John Schaefer will choose next, but you're guaranteed an extremely interesting
and toe-tapping episode every time.
What are we missing? What would you love to hear? AGOGO doesn't pretend to have
everything under the moon, just the very best stuff.
