On this episode of the PawdCast, Aleeha and Meaghan first discuss some of the month’s service animal news. First up, a woman was kicked off a flight due to the presence of her emotional support squirrel. Second, Congress passed the FAA Reauthorization bill, which has some interesting implications for future air travel with service animals. Sponsoring our show this month is On the Go, a business run by Julie Johnson, which sells handmade nylon service dog gear and other useful items. Next, we enter a new segment for the show, one all about advocacy. This month is all about hotels, so be sure to give that a listen. Finally, we have the first of two interviews about international travel, this one from Texas resident Holly McKnight. She discusses her experiences with traveling overseas, as well as navigating on a cruise. If you like what we’re up to or have any feedback for us, send an email to pawdcast@iaccessibility.net.

Well, it has been a while since we have had a full DemoCast, but this one is pretty important. Apple has released their newest version of iOS, which has a new form of automation built in called Siri Shortcuts. They have also released an app called Shortcuts that replaces the app called Workflow. Shortcuts lets users chain together actions to complete a task, and the best part is that you can add these shortcuts to Siri. Download the Shortcuts app from the App Store During the show, we go through the Library and gallery tabs of the app, we download a shortcut from the gallery and even make our own basic shortcut with VoiceOver on. iAccessibility has also created a shortcut and a category called Beyond the Gallery for shortcuts that are useful that aren’t in the gallery. Here is a link to the shortcut. About Beyond The Gallery Let us know what you think about the podcast by emailing feedback@iaccessibility.net, or by tweeting us at @iaccessibility1.

On this episode of the iA GameCast, Aleeha and Jason demo a game called Feer. In this game, you are running from zombies, collecting lights and power-ups, and completing quests. The game is an endless runner which features both audio and visual elements. How many zombies can Aleeha survive? Listen and find out.
