Blaise dusts off some of his favorite interviews from his college days at The College of Saint Rose. Given all the chaos happening in the world why not have a couple of light hearted chats about wheelchair sports and writing. In March 2014 Blaise spoke with Joe Slaninka -- a person with Spina Bifida who is a multi-sport wheelchair athlete. Then we hear another chat from 2014 with John Evans -- a writer and poet who is blind. What was your favorite part about their blasts from the past? Share on Facebook @blaisinshows!
