152. smells like a memory
hi hello hey — do you smell that?? smells like a new episode! Welcome to the next installment of our Sensory Series, where we talk about all the things we love about our non-visual senses!

To kick things off, we’re talking all about our favorite sounds! Some are univ

hi hello hey, we’re making our canes accessories now. We’ve done many an episode about mobility tools, but it’s been two years since we last talked canes, when Case got her all-pink cane and Cass got a No-Jab cane. We’re back—and thanks to our friends at Ambutech, we’re here to debut canes for all seasons, including matching beautiful, bedazzled canes and a cane setup specifically made for the outdoorsy! Besides showing off our new additions, we take our canes for a stroll down memory lane to
