[NFBMI-Talk] [nfb-indiana] The National Federation Of The Blind Radio Network (NFBRN) Available On Amazon Devices

[Kane Brolin]

Hi to Amanda and all.

Sorry that some are having trouble accessing the National Federation of the
Blind Radio Network whose rollout was just announced.

I do not have an inside track on this.  But what I believe I understand is
that if you have an Echo or other Amazon Alexa device, you ask it to play
"The Nation's Blind."  You're not asking her to play NFBRN.

I hope this advice works.

Kind regards,

-Kane
