  • A brilliant, insightful show

    I am not visually impaired, but I have a family friend who is and so I wanted to better understand the issues that people like him experience. I am so glad that I found this podcast as it is very well presented and is very good at highlighting the key issues affecting visually impaired people in the UK today.
