Radio reading services for blind and VI people: An update

IAAIS: A conference of broadcasters

I attended the IAAIS Conference in Lawrence June 1-5. I found it educational and interesting. Everyone was friendly. I enjoyed the River Chocolates boutique in the hotel--esp. the chocolate covered dried apricots. I had never experienced a live audio-described theater event until attending one during my stay in Lawrence. I wonder where radio reading services will be in 10 years with the changes being brought about by the digital changes in broadcasting?
