Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 Ep1276: Phil's Story - An Exercise in Perspective
Q: How did you get connected with Reuben and why did you agree to a documentary about your journey?
Reuben is my son-in-law and has known my story for years; he saw the depth and texture of my experiences with sight loss and running, and believed a documentary could vividly convey what it's like, beyond just a narrative, to people who may not share the same perspective.
S2 Ep1276: Phil's Story - An Exercise in Perspective
Q: Phil, why did you decide to support RNIB through this fundraiser?
I wanted to mark a bucket-list goal before turning 70, and RNIB events and support from friends and the running community helped inspire the fundraiser as a meaningful way to combine sport, charity, and awareness for sight loss.
S2 Ep1276: Guide Dog Blogs: Gary's Gibson
Q: What was your matching visit like when Gibson came into your life?
There was a shorter-than-expected wait; a dog was found who matched my build and needs, and the meeting led to an instant bond and training adapted to working with him.
S2 Ep1276: Guide Dog Blogs: Gary's Gibson
Q: What made you decide to pursue a guide dog instead of continuing with a cane?
I didn't feel comfortable with the long cane due to balance issues and gravity of my condition, and the instant connection I felt with Gibson confirmed that a guide dog would give me peace of mind and independence.
S2 Ep1275: Audio Description and Environment Project With VICTA UK
Q: What happened during the workshops in Edinburgh?
Participants engaged in museum visits and discussions to develop accessible audio descriptions, created ideas for a resource for the Canal Museum in London, and practiced elevator pitches to present their concepts succinctly to a CEO.
