Today is a major day in the blind calendar, as it is the day we celebrate the creation of Braille alongside its inventor, Louis Braille.
Steven and Shaun talk about the value of Braille, plus we get the history of the code from AMI contributor Grant Hardy. There's also a chance to learn about the new Canute gaming console system that lets Braille users play basic games using the Canute 360 device.
And there's a chat with Matthew Horspool from the Braillists Foundation in the UK, who tells us about the best Braille hardware to buy today.
