Matthew Layton presents Studio 1 – Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week…

Matthew rolls up his sleeves and gets in the Vision Australia Radiothon.

As a Vision Australia Radio listener, you probably already appreciate the value of our service - providing information, entertainment and company to listeners - be they blind, low vision or otherwise.

But what we, as an organisation, are often too polite to mention is the cost of that service.

After eliciting some help and advice from Vision Australia Radiothon head honcho Jason Gipps, Matthew speaks to Vision Australia Radio listeners who liked the station so much, they joined as presenters.

And he undertakes a dangerous radio feat, rarely attempted by any presenter who has any common sense or instinct for self-preservation…

He interviews his boss, Manager of all Things Audio for Vision Australia as a Whole, Conrad Browne
