A minor bug during the recording process via this telephone interview
resulted in a less than ideal sound quality at times, but ninor
technical difficulties aside, the content of the interview is certainly
worth a listen!

In his second interview, Howard enjoys a conversation with Dr. Scott Rains, a recognized authority and
writer on accessible travel, Universal Design, disability advocacy and
education and access to worship for people with disabilities. Dr. Rains
is also the Executive Producer of Taking the 9:05

accessible travels destinations, fine dining and entertaining at home
in an accessible kitchen!

Congratulations to Howard who has been working tirelessly behind the
scenes to learn the art of being a radio show host and "engineer" – as

Monica Moshenko, host of Disability News & Views Radio Show has interviewed [with]tv Founder and CEO, Howard Renensland. On her website she introduced Howard by writing this:

Howard Renensland, Father, Advocate, Actor and CEO & Founder, [with]tv

[with]tv
is a start-up corporation devoted to providing television and Internet
programming of, by, and for people with disabilities. Driven by his own
experiences the past 22 years advocating for his own daughter Victoria,
Howard found the single most debilitating factor limiting people with
disabilities is not their disability, but their image in mainstream
media. There is no mainstream television channel in the world
addressing the needs of and targeting people with disabilities as
viewers, consumers and participants. Howard resolved to change that by
creating , an inclusive media outlet that defines all people by their
talents and the quality of their stories, rather than by disability; a
place where his daughter Victoria and everyone else can work in a
universally designed workplace with a welcoming, inclusive workforce –
with-tv is born. Listen to this compelling interview with Mr.
Renensland to learn more about with-tv and how you can get involved
