Come join us as we discuss the life of Louis Braille, the man who invented a system for the blind to read while he was only 15!  And also sharing a bathroom with 120 other men.  Yes, the 1800's were a pooey time, especially if you were blind before Braille, which we'll also talk about.  Seriously, you were like town jester if you had a disability.  Not like today, where you can even be the co-host of your very own podcast.
