I highlight the incredible support I received from volunteers and attendees, including a helpful staffer named Hunter, whose mother, Wendy, played a key role in pre-event planning. I describe my challenges in the exhibit hall due to noise and crowd density, my enjoyment of the sessions, and memorable networking encounters, including a conversation about podcasting with AI and public speaking opportunities.
A humorous moment came when I received a $5 Wawa gift card—a nod to the convenience store's origins near my Swarthmore home. This episode underscores the sense of community at PodFest, offering inspiration and practical tips for navigating events as a visually impaired attendee.
