Useless subtitles and BSO Resound

Available for over a year

Too often when watching TV news stories, foreign speakers get subtitles on screen - but there's no spoken English translation. This leaves blind and visually impaired viewers struggling to comprehend huge swathes of international news reports. We put the frustrating experience of two listeners to the BBC's Head of Current Affairs Joanna Carr, and ask a head of accessibility and design Gareth Ford Williams for a commitment to change. We also hear from flautist Kate Risdon as she prepares for one of the biggest gigs of her career - a proms performance with the BSO Resound Ensemble, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's dedicated sextet of disabled performers. Tom Walker talks to her about how a top blind musician approaches performance and learning a score. Presented by Peter White. Produced by Kev Core.
