Episode 56 - 12/23/15: “Don’t expect the Devil’s Advocate to help you if you’re blind…in Texas”

Enjoy co-host Reno playing Devil's Advocate during this entire episode: 

The blind are back!  This time with smart phones.  Hear why special ed students should stay away from Texas, how nature makes twelve different kinds of rainbows, and why helping others during a busy day is worth that extra few seconds.
