Today on the show, Steven and Shaun are joined by Aaron Linson, a regular listener to Double Tap and an AT instructor by day, to tell us his thoughts on the new third-generation Victor Reader Stream that has been launched in the U.S., and coming to other countries in the next few months.

We are also joined by David Ward, host of the popular Echo Tips podcast, and also an AT instructor, to give him the chance to question Aaron from his point of view and also from his students' perspectives on how useful this device could be for them.

In this special extra episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun turn to an email that came in this week that was very interesting, but sadly too long to fit into the regular show.

Listener Wayne got in touch to share his thoughts on our ongoing conversation on such subjects as coming to terms with sight loss, rehabilitation and how well it performs for blind people and employment challenges.

Today's episode allows us to hear the email in full (thanks to Laura) and await your comments.

Keep those comments coming - email [email protected] or call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail. You can also find us across social media @DoubleTapOnAir.Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website
