Luggage Arrives! | A New Implant Is Helping Blind People Read Again
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here. In this episode of Simple Joe for Thursday, November 13th, 2025, I kick things off with the wild idea of the “immortal jellyfish,” then share a personal travel win as my lost suitcase finally catches up with me here in Chester, England. I walk through the weather in Dallas, Texas, back home in Cincinnati, Ohio, and right here in Chester, before celebrating birthdays like Robert Louis Stevenson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jimmy Kimmel, Gerard Butler, Aisha Hinds, and Dev Patel, along with World Kindness Day, Sadie Hawkins Day, National Start a Rumor Day, National Actors Day, and National Indian Pudding Day. The heart of the show is a fascinating story about a tiny brain-connected implant that helps people with advanced macular degeneration read letters and words again, a hopeful breakthrough that shows how adaptable the human brain really is. I wrap up by reminding you that safe does not make good stories, to spend time with the people you love, and that memories are better than stuff.
