SEE-THROUGH POD

Lance Johnson was diagnosed with RP at the age of 12. Both his mother and one sibling have RP. He's a 30-year old freelance video editor living independently in Brooklyn. He started the See-Through Pod podcast to create transparency on life with a disability through the broadcast of raw conversations with the disability community.
Lance interviews people who "are shaping the future of the disability community." Guests have included artists, athletes, influencers, motivational speakers, comedians, scientists, researchers, technologists and human rights activists. His show focuses on living life. All episodes are great.

The RP Show
Facebook Channel & YouTube Channel
Michael Tubiak was diagnosed with RP when he was 14, maintaining most of his vision into his 30's. Then, his vision dramatically declined. In 2019, he started Living Free with RP. Michael now co-hosts The RP Show with Steve Johnson, a Brit who also has RP. The two created the show because they "wanted to share all of the knowledge that they have learned over the years, especially wanting to help those who are newly diagnosed. To help them feel more at ease".
