Wow, sounds like y'all had a good call. Wish I could've been there to sit in because I love hearing what people think about different pieces of technology. But I need to figure out how to get a reminder of when the calls are. If there's a list for these calls, get posted, I would like to know.

Hello! 

Below are links and notes about what I discussed last night.

The Blind Shell smartphone (also available from Independent Living Aids  is a tactile smartphone designed for people who are blind.  It has a tactile keypad, high-contrast icons, and basic apps including text messaging, phone, email, a web browser, and calendar.  This phone is also capable of reading BARD books and other ebooks, Be My Eyes, AIRA, WhatsApp, and more.  There is also a voice assistant called Luna for making tasks easier, and a Tandem Mode for remote control of the phone.  This is a great phone for those who want a simple, easy-to-use device.

The NFB recently launched Access On  a technology-related podcast hosted by Jonathan Mosen.  Everyone on this list should certainly listen every week!

HumanWare will be launching a new podcast on 16 January called See Things Differently   Each month, charismatic show hosts Peter Tucic and Rachel Ramos deliver story-driven content based on human-interest.  Listeners will be able to access truly engaging conversations with captivating guests, including HumanWare’s own team members and partners in the blindness and low-vision space.

Finally, the newest episode of APH's podcast (episode 111) discusses gift ideas for the blind.
