Customer Reviews
Great information
I found your podcast in November 2021 and have been an avid listener ever cents. The iPhone 101 demos have help me improve my iOS VoiceOver skills immensely. The informative, fun, casual conversation between Jeff, Serina and Kelly on tech abilities are highly enjoyable. The feature segments with Shakers and movers in the Blind Tech world are always relevant. Nice job all around.
Informative and helpful
I appreciate this podcast with its clear information. I especially like the iPhone 101 series. Keep up the fantastic work!
Clear and Informative
