Blind Advocacy - Are We All Responsible?

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun go off-topic (unusual we know) and discuss an email from Gary, who asks if his lack of involvement in advocacy within the blind community is bad. The email ignites some interesting discussion and opens up an important debate on the way people who are blind discuss advocacy, and indeed how we feel about ourselves as a community, or as a group of individuals. There’s also lots of tech news to discuss, including Amazon’s moves towards AI chatbot integration into Alexa and WhatsApp now allowing more than one smartphone to connect to an account simultaneously.
