[Ashley Bramlett]

good to know. Does the new vr stream have a radio? I have the older model so 
I'm not sure about new features.

One of the models of the Book Sense daisy player
from Hims has a radio that speaks
frequencies.  There was the Narrator from Best
Buy, but I don't think it is available any longer.
