The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 21 - Europe
If you would like to be up-=to-date with happenings in Europe in regards to blind and partially sighted people, the European Blind Union has just launched a new podcast today called EBU In Action.
It is a bit of shameless promo as yours truely is one of the hosts so I hope you don't mind me and we look forward to the feedback.
In our pilot, we go over the current campaigns and initiatives the EBU is involved in, we find out about the expectations and fears of blind people regarding Connected and Autonomous Vehicles and we finish off with our correspondent's section where we go to Italy to check what is new for blind people there.
If you have suggestions of topics that should be brought up in future episodes, feel free to share.

@Piciok, I realize there's a few more of these to go, but I want to say this before I forget. ... Life hasn't always let me get these in exactly a timely manner each day, but I have caught them all, boosting and favoriting in small part as a way to mark my place. These have been really neat and informative, and, for once, I get to open up something when sighted hubby plays with his little inaccessible Advent calendar app! lol! Thanks so much for putting this together; I'm sure it took lots of time and research. How ever you celebrate whichever one of a medium handful of holidays, I hope yours is the best it can be. Thanks again. I'm really enjoying this adventure!

@pianomarian Wow, Marian! Thank you so very much. I see your interactions on all of my posts and if one person could be made so happy through this small, fun project of mine, I know it was definitely worth it! Have a great holiday season and greetings to your husband. What kind of calendar is he opening, anyway? What has it got inside?

@Piciok, It's an Advent game; each day is a new mini-game, the winning of which gives you a puzzle piece. At the end, you put the puzzle together and it makes some kind of holiday picture. Can't remember offhand the name of the app, though. ... Merry Christmas!

Nice initiative! As you probably know, I like RSS feeds, so is it the old EBU Access Cast feed or a new one?

@menelion Hello there! Glad you like it. Actually we've got a brand-new RSS feed for this one. Feel free to add it to your Podcatcher of choice: feed.podbean.com/EBUinaction/f…
