BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Paralympics medallists and spectators talk about their experience of the games

The programme talks to medallists and spectators about their experience of the Paralympics

Peter White with news and information for blind and partially sighted people. The programme talks to medallists and spectators about their experience of the 2012 Paralympics.

We speak to David Blunkett about his opening ceremony experience . We do a roundup of the results and highlights of visually impaired athletes and opera singer Denise Leigh talks about her performance during the ceremony.
We also talk to men and women from the goalball team, a sport devised specifically for visually impaired athletes about their experience and explore the irony that the game created for blind players is offering no audio description for blind spectators.

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