Tommy Edison (born July 17, 1963) is an American YouTuber, radio presenter and film critic known for his blindness and self-deprecating sense of humor in his internet presence. From 1994 until 2013 he worked as a traffic reporter for the station Star 99.9 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Although he had never driven a car or seen a traffic jam, as a traffic reporter he used what he heard about traffic on police scanners and in calls with listeners on the road.

  • Tommy Edison és un youtuber americà, presentador de ràdio i crític de pel·lícules. Va néixer el 17 de juliol de l'any 1963. És conegut per la seva ceguesa i el seu humor basat en l'autodespreci que mostra en internet. Des de l'any 1994 fins al 2013, ell va treballar de reporter de tràfic per a l'estació de ràdio Star 99.9, a Bridgeport, Connecticut. A pesar que mai havia conduït un cotxe ni havia vist un embús, com a reporter de tràfic ell usava el que havia sentit pels escàners de ràdio i per les trucades d'oients de la carretera. Motivat per valorar els films per la seva frustració amb el llenguatge visual, ell comença un canal de Youtube que es deia "Blind Film Critic" amb el seu amic Ben Churchill l'any 2011. Les seves anàlisis se centren en l'escriptura, la banda sonora i els efectes sonors. La primera pel·lícula que va comentar va ser Scream 4. Entre les seves preferides s' inclouen Hugo, Goodfellas, Clerks i American Hustle. L'any 2013, l'àudio descrit va permetre que ell vegi la seva primera pel·lícula muda. Ell va ser promocionat per Roger Ebert l'any 2011 i va ser presentat a The Howard Stern Show i CNN. Ell també va fer vídeos contestant a les preguntes de l'audiència sobre la ceguesa en un altre canal anomenat The Tommy Edison Experiencia on va cobrir tòpics sobre somnis, colors, Braille i tecnologia assistida.

Motivated to review films by his frustration with their visual language, he started a YouTube channel called Blind Film Critic with his friend Ben Churchill in 2011. His reviews focus on script, music and sound effects. The first film he reviewed was Scream 4; his favorites include Hugo, Goodfellas, Clerks and American Hustle. In 2013, audio description allowed him to watch his first silent film, which he joked was "eye-opening"—however, he does not use it when preparing his reviews. He was endorsed by Roger Ebert in 2011, and has been featured on The Howard Stern Show and CNN. He also made videos answering viewers' questions about blindness on another channel entitled The Tommy Edison Experience, and has covered topics such as dreams, colors, Braille and assistive technology.
