On Texas Talking Book Voices, the podcast of the Talking Book Program (TBP) at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, we go behind the scenes to explore different facets of the service and meet the people who help make reading accessible to Texans with visual, physical, or reading disabilities. Whether you’re a TBP patron, a librarian, or a library fan, we have something here for you!

Season 3 Episode 6: Travel and Leisure for TBP Patrons 
In this episode, Engagement Specialist Alicia explores travel, leisure, and adventure for patrons with print, visual, and physical disabilities. She speaks with Margaret Koch, director of the Bullock Texas State History Museum, and Laney Kohout, Accessibility Engagement Specialist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Together they cover common barriers travelers face, assistive technology and services that help, how the DIRC can support patrons on the road, and highlights from TBP's collection for the adventurous reader.
