Last December, Serotek’s own Buddy Brannan had the opportunity to join HIMS Inc. in New York City where they took part in the dedication of the very first UN Accessibility Center. While Buddy was in the neighborhood, he paid a visit to The Seeing Eye. He brought back a lot of audio from that trip, and we are pleased to bring you the second installment. Buddy had the opportunity to record a tour of the school. This is a high-quality stereo recording, so a good pair of headphones are recommended.

We would like to thank Jim Kutsch, the president of the school along with other members of the staff for making this tour one that our listeners will never forget.

App Review: King’s Corner

One of Joe’s best ways for killing time when waiting in line, when watching a pot boil or when just needing a few minutes to chill out is to play King’s Corner on his iOS device. This program is VoiceOver friendly but it also sports a few visual customizations for those with Low Vision as well. It’s a variant on Solitaire that is just 99 cents in the iTunes App Store and its one of Joe’s favorite apps.

All who regularly listen to the SeroTalk Podcast Network have come to expect extensive convention coverage each summer. This year, we went the extra mile and brought back something extra special from this year’s ACB convention. Jamie Pauls had the privilege of touring the American Printing House for the Blind with museum director Mike Hudson. Not only did Jamie take the tour, but he recorded the event. The result is over 90 minutes of audio that will take you from the 19^th century to the present day and even into the future. The only way this experience could be any better is if you were there yourself. If you ever get the chance, we urge you to take the APH Factory and Museum tour in person. You won’t regret it!
