# Iran Sepid podcast reports blindGram preparing a new release

Iran Sepid's news podcast for May 5, 2020 carried an item from Kashan: blindGram's programmers were getting a new release ready for blind Telegram users.

The episode put that news next to other reports from the blind community: the barriers blind people meet on public transport, charity work inside the community, and memories of a respected teacher. That framing is why the episode is worth keeping. It recorded blindGram not as a software announcement but as part of the ordinary news of blind people in Iran. The following month, on June 12, 2020, the [blindGram 6.0 public beta](/blog/2020-06-12/blindgram-6-0-public-beta/) opened for testing.
