[NFB-Talk] Is There still a Need for More Podcasts

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

I feel that there are too many podcasts already, and for some of them the information density is low.
Regarding cane travel, I would still recommend to anyone “Care and Feeding of the Long White Cane” by Tom Bickford. In about 1993 it was produced as a sort of Kernel book by the NFB. Text should be available somewhere on the NFB website. It is also available from NLS/BPD in braille and audio formats. Many people have found this book useful, or at least inspirational.

Subject: [NFB-Talk] Is There still a Need for More Podcasts

Some months back, I posed a question to this list wondering if there was a need for more targeted podcasts discussing blindness skills, maybe offering tips for how to organize things around your home, use technology, or do whatever. I have to confess, in this area, I feel a bit jealous of the ACB, since they’ve done such a good job in the podcasting space. I don’t like this feeling, but I have it, and it prompts me to revisit this question.

While I like the Nation’s Blind podcast, I can’t help wondering if a podcast discussing practical ways to deal with doing things as a blind person would be necessary. Is there really a need. I think of such things as how to organize your home, time management, or other skills. I do recognize that travel may not adapt well to a podcast, but tech tips, home organization and time management might work. Yet when it comes to organization and time management, there are a lot of books in the mainstream about these topiss.

Anyway, is there still a need for something along these lines? Why or why not? If there really is a need, how can we start it? Is there anyone who can take it on? Thanks.
