In Plain Sight, hosted by Simon Chong, is a program where we shine a light on West Australians who might otherwise be hidden ‘in plain sight’. You’ll hear interesting and insightful conversations with everyday people who are making a positive impact in the community.

This week, Simon speaks to Ben Rowe, Executive Officer at Blind Sports WA and a big advocate for building inclusion in the community. Ben and others were instrumental in growing Blind Sports WA, and Ben played Goalball for Australia.

He is also an indie singer-songwriter with a soulful, blues-infused sound whose music speaks to what can hold us back and what can bring us together. Hear more of Ben’s music on Bandcamp: https://bennyrowemusic.bandcamp.com/album/talking-to-empty-chairs

A new episode of In Plain Sight has been released each Wednesday for six weeks; this is the final one in the series, for now. Please stay tuned to Vision Australia Radio where you'll soon hear more from presenter Simon Chong.
