Shownotes Transcript

We hear from Sarah Leadbetter who's mounted a legal challenge over inaccessible Covid related information. She argues the government did not give her accessible details about shielding. She's now been granted a judicial review at the High Court. And the famous life of the American deaf-blind author and disability rights activist Helen Keller is well documented. So why have doubts emerged online, particularly among younger people, that cast doubt on all she achieved? We'll hear from visually impaired writer and historian Selina Mills.
