Read excerpt
This Friday on Pushing Limits, we’re continuing our journey through The History of Adaptive Technology for the Blind — Part 2! Denny Daughters talks with Mike Tanner about the technology that helped transform everyday life for blind people from the 1990s into the early 2000s.

Disability In MAGA Land – August 21, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We call our news highlight program Disability in MAGA Land. That’s because, frankly, the news for people with disabilities these days is almost completely related to bad decisions by the right-wing Trump Administration.
