Recording
Each week, volunteer readers record news stories from the latest editions of the Herts Advertiser and St Albans Times.
Producing
Our editors assemble these with a variety of features, interviews, discussions, previews of national radio and television programmes and much more – creating two hours of interesting and entertaining content.
Copying
The following day, copy teams make and check multiple high-speed copies of the master recording onto USB memory sticks – one for each of our visually-impaired listeners.
Delivering
Copies are placed inside the special zipped wallets and taken to the post office. From here, they’re delivered to your home by Royal Mail’s no-charge ‘Articles for the Blind’ service in time to be enjoyed during the weekend and the following days.
Listening
With the launch of this website and the inclusion of our programmes in the Speech Talking Newspaper app, all our listeners now have a choice. They can continue to receive the programmes by post or they can listen online (see Listen Online). Every registered listener is provided free-of-charge with an easy to use player, with a simple demonstration of how it works as well as support throughout their time as a listener.
