Podcast: has assistive technology replaced braille?

As part of National braille week in October,  we had a panel talking about braille in the modern age. In the latest episode of The Blind Spot podcast, we discuss if the rise of assistive technology means that some people no longer use braille at all.

Host Penny Wilkinson, Head of Communications at TPT  is joined by Matthew Johnson, a lawyer, linguist, and musician.
