About Mosen At Large

 

Mosen At Large is the podcast that’s got the blind community talking. Join me, Jonathan Mosen, and the thousands of listeners who are part of the Mosen At Large community. Just listen if you like, or share your thoughts and questions. After all, if no one joined in, there’d be no conversation!

We’ll keep you on the cutting edge of the rapidly changing technology world from a blindness perspective, and make sense of it all. But there’s much more to Mosen At Large than tech. We look at everything through a blindness lens, including health, self-improvement, news, politics, history, leadership, music and more.

One episode is very different from another and often our listeners who write or call in set the direction of each episode.

You’ll find the podcast engaging, entertaining, thought-provoking, informative, at times controversial, and always professionally produced.

Contributing to the show

Don’t be shy, we love conversation on Mosen At Large. If you’ve heard something you want to comment on, or you want to bring a new topic into the mix, I would love to hear from you. To get in touch, send a regular email, or attach an audio file to an email message which may be included in a future podcast. You can record this on the voice memos app built into your smartphone, the recorder in Windows…anything that can make an mp3 or M4a file is just fine. The address is Jonathan at mushroomfm .com, or call our listener line and record a voicemail message. It’s a US number, +1864-606-6736. That’s 864-60Mosen.

I receive many contributions, so here is a little information about the way I process them and what makes a contribution that I am likely to include.

I welcome a diverse mix of views on the show. In the time it has been running, we have developed a culture of respectful discussion. I believe it’s possible to disagree without being disagreeable.

Usually, I play contributions in the order they are received. Sometimes that means there could be a delay of several weeks between when you send your contribution in and when it gets played. However, I do prioritise contributions about time-sensitive or topical issues.

If your contribution is written, please try to make it easy to read out loud by writing in complete sentences and spell checking it before sending.

if you submit an audio contribution, please record in a quiet environment with any background music turned off, think about what you’d like to say ahead of time and what will interest other listeners. I may also edit your contribution for brevity and clarity.

It’s always great to get audio demos of apps or technology you think listeners might be interested in. If you are recording this kind of demo, please ensure that your speech is set at a rate slow enough for people who are not familiar with the text-to-speech you are using to understand. You and the technology you are demonstrating should never be talking at the same time. This makes it hard for listeners to hear and difficult for our transcribers.

While I use most contributions, some may not be selected if they don’t meet the above criteria, they duplicate views already expressed, or they personally attack individuals rather than challenge ideas.

Join our announcements list

Usually, I post to our announcements list ahead of the show to tell you some of the things coming up in the next episode. It gives you a chance to send in your thoughts ahead of time.

TO receive these messages in your email box, send a blank message to media-subscribe@mosen.org
