On FSCast 233 we’ll meet Andrew Leland. His brand new book, “The Country of the Blind,” is a thoughtful exploration of the world of blindness as he discovers his place in it. Then Ian Stenseng from The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. and longtime JAWS scripter Steve Clark will be here to talk about their creative ways of making The Lighthouse factory equipment accessible.
