    Outtake! By Talking Point Podcast

    Episode Notes 🎙️ Ever listened to yourself listen? In this quirky entry from my Intermediary Shorts Single Episode series, you're invited to step into a world of technical tangles, posture tweaks, and reflections on self-care. These are not just sound checks—they’re sound bites from the mind’s backstage, where each interconnecting link slyly shifts, voiced in an ironically sped-up cadence that doubles as its own commentary. Through carefully edited snippets, I explore the art of active and passive listening, revealing how even the smallest conversational cues connect us and recalibrate us. And with a touch of irony in every layered clip, you’ll be left pondering: are we ever truly alone in our thoughts? Get ready to eavesdrop… on myself.

    Talking Point - Impossible Is Possible - PFA

    Talking Point: Impossible Is Possible What’s the impossible that was made possible for you? In this episode of Talking Point, Philip Anderson explores how the impossible becomes possible through the power of technology, human resilience, and service. We begin with Angela Peak, a nurse turned self-care coach, who helps exhausted healthcare professionals rediscover their energy and well-being. Her story exemplifies how personal transformation is possible even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Next, David Beard, Head of Technology at British Wireless for the Blind, shares insights into the organisation’s vital work. For nearly a century, British Wireless has used radio technology to connect and comfort those living with sight loss, offering a lifeline against isolation. David discusses how radio’s relevance continues to evolve in the digital age. We also meet Martin Rhodes, who reflects on the joys of HAM radio, a timeless hobby that continues to inspire communication across the globe made possible by screen reading technology. In addition to these guest appearances, the Talking Point team explores other remarkable stories of human determination and technological innovation, leaving you rethinking what’s possible in your own life. Among these stories is Eo Davies, a woman with cerebral palsy, who has accomplished the remarkable feats of driving a car, riding a bike, and even sailing a boat—proving that determination can conquer any barrier. Jenny Tate also shares her journey of how Dragon Naturally Speaking technology made it possible for her to complete her honours degree with the Open University, despite facing challenges that once seemed insurmountable.

    A Leap from the Tree

    Ever wondered how a childhood trauma shapes your life? In this gripping episode, I recount a pivotal moment from my childhood that changed my life forever. At just 10 years old, I fell 20-30 feet from a tree, narrowly escaping death by the slimmest of margins. Born with Bilateral Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, a rare condition affecting my vision and associated with hypoglycaemia and intellectual disabilities, I’ve faced numerous challenges. Join me as I delve into the harrowing experience and the long-term impacts of the fall, which left me questioning whether my memory and language difficulties are linked to the head injury or my congenital condition. This episode marks a new departure for me, as I turn the microphone on my own story instead of my usual reporting on global accessibility and inclusion issues. Learn about the resilience, uncertainty, and strength that has defined my journey. 🎙️ Listen to: A Leap from the Tree" 🌳 Email me: info@talkingpoint.site Podcast Main: www.talkingpoint.site

    Ever been blown away by a good audiobook? "Half a Century of Stories: How Calibre Audio Redefines Access for All" "Dive into the story of Calibre Audio as I explore how a vision for accessible books became a lifeline for many and sparked a global conversation on the need for inclusivity in literature." Join me for a special hour-long episode of Talking Point, as I celebrate the golden anniversary of Calibre Audio, a pioneer in making literature accessible to those with additional print needs. For 50 years, Calibre has not just provided books but has championed the cause of inclusivity, ensuring everyone can experience the joy of a good story. As someone who grew up benefiting from Calibre’s vast array of children's titles, I understand deeply the impact of their work. "Calibre was a beacon of hope during my childhood, offering stories that my mother, due to personal circumstance, couldn't read aloud to me. Their commitment to accessibility transformed my access to literature and allowed me to dream big," I reflect. Discover how Calibre Audio has shaped the landscape of accessible reading, from their early days using audio cassettes to today's advanced digital offerings. I dive into why accessible literature matters more than ever in a world that still grapples with reading inequalities and what the future holds for inclusive publishing. Celebration Highlight: Don't miss hearing about the "Inclusive Voices Competition," a creative initiative launched to mark this Calibre Audio golden milestone. It invites stories featuring characters with additional print needs, aiming to inspire and educate by showcasing diverse experiences through literature. **Listen to Talking Point: 'A Word in Your Ear' Part 1.
