Booking Overview

This is an interview-led community radio program focused on blindness, visual impairment, accessibility, disability policy, culture, and everyday life, with external guests ranging from subject experts and public officials to advocates, arts professionals, and people with relevant lived experience. Suitable pitches include accessibility and inclusion leaders, disability-policy experts, assistive-technology specialists, arts-access executives, and credible advocates; booking difficulty is generally low because the program regularly features accessible professional and community voices rather than only high-profile guests.
