Why are book podcasts and blogs something that you should know about? Attendees joined us and we'll be happy to tell you. Also, listeners were encouraged to come with their own book podcasts and book blog recommendations for us. Happy reading!

20230722 Doing Braille Digitally Originally Broadcasted July 22, 2023, on ACB Media 5 It's hard to believe, but this event has been going on for a little over a year! In honor of the first anniversary of this event, we went back to a topic we visited in one of our first episodes. We discussed everyone's favorite ways to use digital braille. IN a year's time, it's possible that some regular attendees have changed the way they use braille or have found even more uses for it, and we have also had a lot of people who are attending now that were not when we first started, who we would love to hear ideas from about how they use braille!
