Review of Blind Traveler

I love that Pat is introduced to us in a way that feels somewhat confusing.... There is an opening cacophony of sound that throws the listener off just a bit. This purposeful bit of engineering really work to places us somewhat into the life of a blind woman.
I've come away with a sense of knowing this person and have a feeling that if I were to encounter her in actuality - I would know her on sight.
I see this as an important piece that speaks to and for a group of people who are often perceived to be on the fringes of daily life - when clearly they are no such thing.
Terrific.
