Reading Rattle

After providing recorded audio magazines for the visually impaired for over thirty years, the Reading Rattle continues to grow.

April sees the welcome return of BB. Originally known as Brian's Broadcasting Bits, the new BB is now read by Ron Price, GW4EVX and his wife, Sue.

It's a digest of items that are of sure-fire interest to radio amateurs, SWLs and the general population, too.

The first edition of the new show includes items on radio in the international news, a fascinating piece on jamming, a track entitled "A Hobby for the Blind" and coverage of captioned radio and its benefits for deaf listeners. It's a half-hour recording filled with interesting and important pieces.

As well as recordings of periodicals, RR also includes audio copies of essential radio books like Foundation Licence Now! plus intermediate and advanced course manuals.

You can find out more about RAIBC, the charity working for blind and disabled amateurs and SWLs, at www.raibc.org.uk or you can call the RAIBC Helpline free on 08000 141 743.
