Shaun of the Shed gives those new to the world of technology a helping hand with everything from using a screen reader or smart speakers to unboxing and starting up a new computer.
Host Shaun Preece is an audio producer from Manchester who has a real passion for technology. Despite being born with a visual impairment, Shaun's sight has worsened over the years and as such he has depended more on assistive technology.
You can also hear Shaun on AMI's Double Tap podcast, airing weekly at noon Eastern on AMI-audio or download it from your favourite podcast platform.

In this episode of Shaun of the Shed, Shaun introduces us to the concept of audio description and explains how it enables blind or visually impaired individuals to watch TV shows and movies.
He gives an example of how audio description works and demonstrates how to turn it on on various devices. Shaun also explains that while the big players in streaming media take notice of the universal audio description option, not every app does, and he provides tips for finding and turning on audio description for other apps.
