We got it condensed down into a digestible piece of audio information and brought to you in stereo so you can hear both sides of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We bring you news from around the world and give you our best opinions but remember, do not quote TBTS, we do not claim to be the end-all on such deep conversations and we feel your opinion is best for you. Hmmm. So if you want to share your opinion, email us, tweet us, send us a carrier pigeon and let us know. We don\u2019t know much about history, don\u2019t know much about biology but Brian will always sing his tune and yes, I got to edit this stuff, so have a little kindness and sympathy for me. You try to put Brian in your ears for days at a time. Whew, poor West. BTW, that is the name of Brian\u2019s Guide Dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So enjoy this episode and the comic relief provided by Marlon and Jeff in their skits or whatever you call those inserts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some links from the show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2020\/01\/23\/uber-driver-took-blind-singers-phone-give-20-tip-five-star-rating-12111556\/\">Uber driver took blind singer\u2019s phone to give himself \u00a320 tip and five-star rating<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/news\/trending\/student-with-disability-sues-college-allegedly-separating-her-guide-dog\/XJHLM7BX75EORMDCBCUDNXG2VQ\/\">Legally blind student sues college for allegedly separating her from seeing eye dog:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/new-emotional-support-animal-rules_l_5e29b2a1c5b6d6767fd0201e\">Emotional Support Animals Could Soon Be Banned From Planes:<\/a><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/679475\/location-services-privacy-settings-ios-13\/\">Advertisers panicking as iPhone users have been turning off their GPS location tracking:<\/a><br><br><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/technology-51245616\">Facebook and YouTube moderators sign PTSD disclosure<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for listening.<br>Send us Feedback via&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:ThatBlindTechShow@gmail.com\">email<\/a><br>Follow us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/blindtechshow\">@BlindTechShow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That Blind Tech Show is produced in part with Blind Abilities Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/blindabilities\">@BlindAbilities<\/a><br>On the web at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/\">www.BlindAbilities.com<\/a><br>Send us an&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@blindabilities.com\">email<\/a><br>Get the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appsto.re\/us\/demUab.i\">Free Blind Abilities App<\/a>&nbsp;on the App Store.<br>Get the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.blindabilities.android.blind&amp;hl=en_US\">Free blind Abilities App on the Google Play Store<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/607027582712671\/\">Blind Abilities Community<\/a>on Facebook, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BlindAbilities\/\">Blind Abilities Page<\/a>, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/193468111470902\/\">Career Resources for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/assistivetechnologyfortheblind\/\">Assistive Technology Community for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5214\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-5672-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/39TBTS.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/39TBTS.mp3\">http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/39TBTS.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p>http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/blindabilities\/39TBTS.mp3 Show Summary: That Blind Tech Show returns with just Brian and Jeff at the helm.
