This podcast features a recording of the live chat session that took place on Zello on 12 July 2012. This was a scheduled session on the AppleVis channel, and was devoted to the topic of using Braille displays with iOS and Mac.

Co-hosted by AnonyMouse and Scott Davert, the session was attended by approximately 30 Braille users. Topics were wide-ranging, and we decided to record and share the discussion as a podcast because we felt that it would be interesting and useful to other Braille users who weren't able to attend.
