AccessWorld #4 -- Welcome 2024 and a Deep Dive on Usability

Happy New Year and welcome back to another episode of AccessWorld, a podcast on digital inclusion and accessibility. In this episode, Tony and Aaron kick off 2024 by sharing their resolutions on improving their braille. Tony shares how he's an old dog still trying to master UEB.
