"Not in the Cards" on Transom
Audio portrait of a blind man's connections
In “Not in the Cards,” we meet Robert, who lost his sight at birth, as he reflects on growing up blind, coming to the realization that he was gay, and what these realities would mean for him. It is an intimate, non-narrated audio portrait of a blind man's journey in search of meaningful connection. Recorded between 2019 and 2020.
"Sometimes hearing him in conversation with his helpers, and mostly hearing from him directly, this is a deeply humane and empathetic listen to a very particular existence: listen on as “Bob” gives us the opportunity to hear what his life is like in his own words." (Missouri Review)
