Acting Up w/ AJ and Crew Ajani 'AJ' Murray

Audio description (AD) is a narration of important visual information in a video or multimedia product to make it more accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. AD can provide context, clarify speakers, and describe visual elements that are not obvious from the audio, such as on-screen text, graphics, or actions. AD is often inserted into natural pauses in the program's dialogue. 
 


Special Guest Thomas Reid is back in the house to discuss his role and historical expertise in the formation of Audio Description and its potential for future accessibility for the visually impaired.
Thomas Ried is host and producer of the Podcast, Reid My Mind Radio

A discussion about the persistance of a dream to be an actor, societal presumptions cornering us into a box, and saying the 'R' word without saying it.
