Cultivating Accessibility: Bridging Pathways for Reading and Transport!

Sep 04, 2023

Join hosts Philip Anderson and Martin Rhodes for a compelling 60-minute journey through some of Britain's most pressing topics, seamlessly connected to bring you insights that matter. Starting with the incendiary debates surrounding UK rail ticket office closures, we delve into what this could mean for those who require alternative ways to access our railways. But we don't stop there; we're thrilled to feature Steve Benett, the guiding force behind the Dolphin Easy Reader app, transforming the world for those with sight and print impairments. 


Furthermore, influenced by your comments, we explore the environmental impact of technology, offering a balanced discussion that elevates listener insights. As a cherry on top, we take a nostalgic romp through the past four decades, revealing how electronic innovations have shaped pop culture. So, why not dedicate an hour of your day for an enriching, thought-provoking discourse, served with our customary satirical seasoning?

"Episode 3 is here! Dive into the UK rail debate and discover an app changing the game for bookworms with sight loss complete with a retro pop culture twist!"
