Great Podcasts by Dr. Bill and Others!

For those of you who've never had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Dr. Bill Takeshita, well then head on over to AIRS-LA
and click on the Vision link across the top of the page. AIRS-LA stands for Audio Internet Reading Service-Los Angeles. Its purpose it to help "those who are blind, sight-impaired, reading-impaired, low-vision, or who suffer diseases that make it difficult or impossible for them to read. Our mission is to provide podcasts of news, information, and entertainment that's otherwise inaccessible to them."
There are tons of great podcasts on everything from the latest medical advances in eye care to technology for people who are sight impaired. Dr. Bill has a whole series of podcasts called Low Vision Technology. One I just listened to was about how accessible the new Macintosh operating system is for people with low vision.
The Health links offers podcasts on everything from "Cooking in the Dark," to "Vision Loss - How Others Have Coped With It." Go check it out, and thanks, Dr. Bill, for all your work in the field of low vision!
