Welcome to the debut episode of Flying Blind, a podcast for all of us out there winging our way through life. In this introductory episode, you learn about your host, Ben Pettingill, a blind professional speaker and Dad, who lost his eyesight overnight at age 16 to a rare genetic syndrome. Ben also introduces you to his wife Amy who will make regular appearances on this weekly podcast but will mostly be behind the scenes editing and producing Flying Blind.

Ben and Amy chat about a recent experience he documented and shared online which subsequently went viral, giving his audiences a taste of life as a blind bloke. This experience encapsulates the literal side of Flying Blind where you will hear from Ben all about his life with only 2% eyesight. Alongside guest interviews with people generous in sharing their own metaphorical flying blind through life stories, Flying Blind is a podcast to remind us all to have a crack because we really are all just winging it!
