[RWP] What podcasts would help you most?

[Scott Chesworth]

Yo Ken,

At this point, resources for screen reader users who want to learn
Reaper are thin on the ground, mostly due to the current accessibility
plugin not being under active development. However, as you're finding
out, that doesn't mean that it can't be used for some pretty cool
stuff in its current state. In my mind, something only becomes invalid
when it's been surpassed by another option, which hasn't happened yet.
So in a nutshell, yup, any new resources would be welcomed. I'd
suggest taking a poke around what the Oreo Monster has put together at
www.reaacc.es to get an idea of stuff you might want to demonstrate in
audio, and also check out the 3 CAVI casts that were done on Reaper to
make sure you're not going over ground that's already been covered.

Looking forward to hearing what you cook up

Scott
