Something a little different this week! We wanted to do something special to celebrate International Podcast Day, so Steve came up with the idea of a News Show that breaks from the usual format of Assistive Technology. These days it's hard to not get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of bad news that fills our days, so we're fighting back with a little something we call The Good News Show -- nothing but warm fuzzies! So if you've got the blues about the state of the world, this is the episode for you!
