Talking Newspapers for the Blind

Word of Mouth

Available for over a year

In the programme exploring the world of words and the ways in which we use them, Chris Ledgard examines the production of talking newspapers for the blind. From cassette distribution to downloads, the daily newspaper can be as up-to-date for blind people as it is for their sighted neighbours. But how do you "voice up" both the Daily Star and the Telegraph? And what does it take to be the "reader" on FHM or Private Eye?
