This is a handy place to find VoiceOver related podcasts in one place. I prefer to go to the Blind Cool Tech feed at: http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml instead of their main web page to check for recent podcasts, since the web page will takes some time to load for VoiceOver. You'll need your Google Groups login for this list to access the podcasts page. This is not VoiceOver specific, but there was a recent Blind Cool Tech podcast by Dane Trethowan on using SuperDuper for backup on the Mac that you can find, together with Mike's 7th Mac Access podcast, on the Blind Cool Tech feed: Super Duper 4/20/2009 Dane Trethowan demonstrates this backup program for the Mac from www.shirtpocket.com that compliments Time Machine. Among the flexible setups, his is set so the Mac can boot from the external backup drive if necessary. 16.6 MB Here's my listing of the content description of each of Mike's podcasts, saved from the original feed descriptions: Mac Accessibility Demo 5/24/2008 Mike overviews the accessibility features in the Mac and demonstrates web browsing, email, and word processing. 28.6 MB Mac Accessibility Demo Part 2 6/12/2008 Mike Arrigo continues the tour of the accessibility of the Mac using the built-in screen reader, Voice Over.
