Description
The Desert Skies Podcast is a show on technology. The show focuses on news items that directly affect accessibility concerns within the marketplace for blind and visually impaired computer users. The show will also focus on how-to items for podcasting topics as it relates to accessibility technology. Keep in mind that the show will focus on this but the conversations will be done in such a way that they will relate completely to a general audiance. In addition, Sound Seeing tours will be done infrequently as we travel to conferences and vacations.
