UK Audio Network and VIWorld links added
The UK Audio Network and VIWorld are among the first entries in the section of this blog devoted to outside links. They're in the right column--or its equivalent on screen readers--underneath our list of David Faucheux's recent posts.
David likes the Audio Networks' mix of audio, trivia, sports, and more. VIWorld, for the blind and visually impaired, is a new forum site just starting out. Give 'em a try. A link to an Audio Network audio sample appears immediately below this post.

'How do I read thee? A librarian expands the ways'
Blind people and librarians working with them might check out How Do I Read Thee? A Librarian Expands the Ways--about the innovative work that the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center is doing with audio books and e-books. It's in the July issue of AccessWorld, the magazine from the American Federation for the Blind.

A Breath of FRESH AIR
When I am curious to know what is happening culturally, I tune in to FRESH
AIR which is an interview show affiliated with NPR that delves into the
worlds of culture, politics, and more. Book authors discuss their work with
the show's host.
Check out the audio link to hear a sample.

The Radio Factor
If you check out my audio post, you'll hear a sample from the talk radio

disability/blindness-related issues.

offered by The Mid Illinois Talking Book Library. This library is so
innovative, boldly going where no library has gone before--the Star Trek of
NLS libraries!

1421: The year China discovered America?
Could the Chinese have discovered the Americas years before the likes of
Columbus and other explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries? Could they
have discovered Australia centuries before Cook? And the Poles, too?
Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction!

book I recently read that help to generate this post.
