Hi, this is Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Totally Booked with Zibby. Formerly, moms don't have time to read books. In my daily show, I interview today's latest, best-selling, buzziest, or underrated authors and story creators, whose work I think is worth your time. As a bookstore owner, publisher, author, and obviously podcaster, I get a comprehensive

look at everything that's coming out and spend my time curating the best books so you don't

have to.

Stay in the know, get insider insights, and connect with guests like I do every single day.

For more information, go to zibbimedia.com and follow me on Instagram

at Zibby Owens. Joshua A. Mealy is the author of Connecting the Dots, A. Blind Life. Joshua is a

prominent blind scientist, designer, and thought leader in accessible technology

and disability. He is a recipient of the 2021 MacArthur Fellowship, an Amazon Design Scholar,

and Distinguished Fellow at UC Berkeley's Othering and Belonging Institute. He is known for

creating inclusive technologies that address critical needs and challenge societal assumptions

and for speaking

with frank humor about the lived disability experience. Dr. Meeley helps guide the non-visual

customer experience for Amazon devices and advises widely on accessible design research methods

and disability inclusion. He is the father of two adult children and lives with his wife

in Berkeley, California.

Wendell Jameson, his co-author, is an author, writer, editor, and painter who spent 20 years working for newspapers,

from obituary writer at the Jersey Journal in Jersey City to Metro Editor of the New York Times.

He has worked for every major paper in New York City and now writes books and works with others on their books and essays.

Welcome Joshua and Wendell.

I have a two-for-one special here today.

Very exciting.
