Peter White interviews Minister Ed Vaizey about changes to Audio Description.

Peter White asks Minister Ed Vaizey and the RNIB if changes to Audio Description are going far enough. And Mani Djazmi reviews the latest gizmos at the Sight Village exhibition.

Peter White looks at the latest changes to Audio Description and asks Minister Ed Vaizey and Steve Winyard
of the RNIB whether they go far enough. With the recommended voluntary 20% now comfortably within reach
of most broadcasters by the end of the year, isn't it time to up the stakes and set higher targets?
Ed Vaizey also tackles the issue of embedded accessibility rather than bespoke assistive technology - should
your phone come ready primed or is it better to have your own add ons?
Mani Djazmi visits the Sight Village exhibition in Birmingham to review the latest gizmos with Dr Mike Townsend.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
