On today’s program, we dive into the fascinating world of echo location—the skill that allows blind and visually impaired people to visualize and navigate their surroundings using sound.


You’ll hear the incredible story of Daniel Kish, who lost his eyesight as a toddler but discovered his own way of “seeing” by making tongue clicks and listening to the echoes around him.


The Tactile Traveler hopes to empower people not only to go literally around the world, but around the block to new adventures in their lives.
