Episode notes

Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

The Vision Australia Radiothon

Yes, it’s that time of year again. 

The time of year when we here at Vision Australia Radio ask you, gentle listener, for your support in helping us stay afloat.

Helping Matthew and Sam to rattle the tin in your general direction this year are two of Vision Australia Radio’s brightest stars: our senior presenter, the man who taught all of us everything we know - we call him the guv’nor - the man, the legend Peter Greco.

Then we shall be speaking to the station’s young gun, Sam Colley of Talking Vision.

Sandwiched like a rose between these two gnarly thorns will be the presenter of Vision Australia Radio’s newest show - proof that the station you know and love is constantly evolving and innovating. The show is called The Career Path and our guest, its presenter, is Belinda Wilson.

It costs in the region of two million dollars to keep the Vision Australia Radio network on the air every year. 

Radio is often perceived as something that doesn’t cost anything. Turn on the tap and out comes water. Turn on the radio and out comes the fantastic service that Vision Australia Radio provides.

Yes, we are grateful for the support provided by Vision Australia and other organisations, (including the Community Broadcasting Foundation who fund this show) but like most of the people whom we talk to on the show and many of our listeners, we are fiercely independent. We like to stand on our own two feet.

We realise times are hard, but we appreciate any and all donations - whatever the amount. Donations of over two dollars are, of course, tax deductible.
