Jackie Brown joins us to talk about the British Computer Association of the Blind, and in particular, their forthcoming Tech a Break weekend. Even if you’re not in the UK, you may like to learn about this organisation’s history and how blind people support one another to stay on top of computing.

Mary Schnackenberg, life-long Braille advocate and former President of the International Council on English Braille, joins us to discuss Braille. We look at Braille’s relevance today, and talk frankly about the frustration some people express about what they perceive to be the constant tampering with the code.

We also learn about a big revamp at Mushroom FM, an Internet radio station staffed entirely by blind volunteers, as they move to a 1950s through 1980s format from 15 August.
