107. blind gamer girlies

hi hello hey, are you ready to play?

Surprisingly, in the many episodes of Rare with Flair, we’ve never talked about video games—until now! Both of us grew up gaming, whether it was on classic consoles like the Super Nintendo or GameCube or through educational CD-ROM computer games (remember those?). In this episode, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane and reflect on how gaming has shaped our lives.

But it’s not all about the past! We also discuss the role gaming plays in our lives today and share the creative strategies we’ve developed as players with low vision to make gaming more accessible and inclusive.

f you’ve been with us since our first podaversary episode, you might remember that there are a few costs involved in keeping Rare with Flair running. From podcast hosting (to store and distribute episodes) to web hosting for our website, these are expenses we’ve covered ourselves for over four years.

We’re happy to do it—especially knowing how much this show means to so many of you who’ve reached out with emails, messages, or even in-person words of encouragement. This podcast is truly our love letter to the community!

That said, sponsors like Aira help make our work more sustainable by offsetting these costs, letting us break even and keep bringing you great content.

If you’d like to support the show, you can contribute to our Buy Me a Coffee page. It’s not about literal coffee but rather a way to pitch in a small amount (even just a few dollars) to help us keep things running. We’re so grateful for your listenership—because of you, we’re able to partner with sponsors like Aira and keep Rare with Flair going strong!

Thank you for being part of our journey. We couldn’t do it without you!
