We’re proud to announce that Podfly Creative has won an Anthem Award for Branded Content or Collaboration! We celebrate with Lighthouse Guild our collaboration to produce On Tech & Vision with Dr. Cal Roberts.
About the Project
This podcast profiles cutting edge vision technology for people who are blind or visually impaired, and uplifts the voices of people in this community. In a moment informed by technology, we’ve produced a show that focuses these advancements on solutions for people who are blind and visually impaired, while amplifying their voices as active participants in development.
Our goal is to focus conversations on how cutting edge advances in technology are being applied to the challenges faced by people who are blind or visually impaired. We cover access, inclusion, sensory substitution, medical implants, tele-health advances, artificial intelligence, and ethics.
Our show has inspired technologists to reach out to each other to establish new partnerships. Our show has offered new solutions for listeners who are blind or visually impaired to solve some of the day-to-day static problems related to vision loss.

About the Award
Launched in 2021 by The Webby Awards, The Anthem Awards honors the purpose & mission-driven work of people, companies and organizations worldwide. By amplifying the voices that spark global change, we’re defining a new benchmark for impactful work that inspires others to take action in their own communities. The Anthem Awards honors work across seven core causes: Diversity; Equity & Inclusion; Education; Art & Culture; Health; Human & Civil Rights; Humanitarian Action & Services; Responsible Technology; and Sustainability, Environment & Climate. Founded in partnership with the Ad Council, Born This Way Foundation, Feeding America, Glaad, Mozilla, NAACP, NRDC, WWF, and XQ.
Anthem Winners are selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. “Since launching this platform in June of 2021, we have seen that social change has emerged as a dominant force in mainstream culture.” said Anthem Awards Managing Director Jessica Lauretti. “The sheer number, breadth and overall quality of the entries shared with us in the 2nd Annual Awards is a testament to the strength of this growing movement and demonstrates an enduring commitment to the work that is both humbling and inspiring to see. From the war in Ukraine, to protests in Iran and the ongoing battle for equality here at home in the States, the call for change not only perseveres but is a growing global chorus.
The Anthem Awards was launched in response to the prevalence social good has taken within the national conversation and cultural zeitgeist in recent years. The 2nd Annual competition received nearly 2,000 entries from 43 countries worldwide. By amplifying the voices that spark global change, the Anthem Awards are defining a new benchmark for impactful work that inspires others to take action in their communities. A portion of program revenue will fund a new grant program supporting emerging individuals and organizations working to advance the causes recognized in the 2nd Annual Anthem Awards.
