Customer Reviews
Absolute Hardhitting and Awesome!
I’ve been enjoying this for a couple of weeks now and the conversations are absolutely awesome! From the first episode, the truth, the realism, and the realities of going blind is there.
His honesty on the feelings of acceptance and anger are spot on and very relatable. As a fellow RP warrior, it’s amazing to hear someone else, clear across the US and relate to truly.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Love their honesty
Hear about this show on Sampler and have been listening non stop since. Love how honest they are about what they're going through. On episode 13 now and really looking forward to hearing the new episodes to see how Dustin and Joy are doing and to see if Dustin is still saying "yeah no" ten plus times an episode. 😉
An eye-opening story
There is so much to losing one's vision that the average person would never think about. Dustin shares his story with humor and honest frustration in such a way as to draw the listener in.
