Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 Ep1643: Charity Chief Exec's Customer Update 07/03/2026
Q: Did you get to try the SimSpecs on a walk?
Yes, I wore the SimSpecs at a bus stop with a cycle path nearby, which gave me a strong understanding of navigating those challenges and the importance of seeing the environment from a blind or partially sighted perspective.
S2 Ep1644: Share Your Experiences Of Visual Imagination
Q: If people would like to learn more about the study, including how they can take part, where should they go?
Participants are directed to a short information page followed by consent forms online, with an alternative phone option, and the enrollment period is open until a specific April deadline.
S2 Ep1644: Share Your Experiences Of Visual Imagination
Q: How does the study actually work?
The study is a survey that takes about an hour and can be completed online or by phone, collecting information on the participant's type of visual impairment, any hallucinations, and their ability to imagine different visual scenes.
S2 Ep1644: Share Your Experiences Of Visual Imagination
Q: Tell us a bit more about the aims and what you're hoping to explore.
Dr. Dunne explains the study seeks to understand why some people with sight loss develop Charles-Bonnet syndrome and others do not, by examining visual imagination across individuals with varying degrees of sight impairment.
S2 Ep1645: Vidar Hjardeng MBE - Top Hat AD theatre review
Q: So Vidar, were you swept off your feet with this joyful classic musical comedy that is Top Hat at the Hippodrome?
Yes, it was all singing and all dancing, very lively and engaging, with clear, accessible audio description that helped me follow the story and enjoy the music and dance.
