<p class="MsoNormal">Some years ago, the Braille Institute of America produced a series called Sound Solutions. This series discussed a variety of topics including home management, cooking, daily independent living skills, and a few other things. There are
even a couple of episodes on what to do if a loved one or family member goes blind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These programs came out before the iPhone and all the digital technology we now have. For what it’s worth, the link is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brailleinstitute.org%2Fcategory%2Fresources%2Faudio-library%2Fsound-solutions-audio&data=04%7C01%7C%7C624af4ac0eae400e689c08d895586cc0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637423554292583091%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=d0d91yoYOTf2MpFkTpRn3o6lh5sckJRYguAjuDJpeSc%3D&reserved=0">https://www.brailleinstitute.org/category/resources/audio-library/sound-solutions-audio</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve revisited this series from time to time. Hearing it has me thinking: Is there a need for a current, up to date podcast series discussing topics such as safe cooking, home management, and the use of alternative techniques of blindness.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One thing I notice listening again to this series is that they’re highly produced. Since this is coming out of Los Angeles, I’m not surprised they did that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s my thinking. While we have our excellent training centers, I realize that in rural parts of the country, it’s more difficult to find resources. However, I do notice that the Hadley Institute is also offering workshops.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I’ve seen a lot of mainstream books, especially on how to organize your house, that we can use. I myself have taken tips from a lot of these mainstream books that are on Bard and Audible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So is there a need for a topical podcast on such things as home management and cooking? If no, I can understand why. If yes, what could we do differently?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
