To mark World Braille Day, Shine Radio’s Laura Sheppard sits down with John Welsman for a thoughtful and enlightening conversation about the continuing importance of braille in today’s world.

World Braille Day is a chance to recognise braille as a vital tool for literacy, independence, and inclusion for people who are blind or partially sighted. In this extended interview, John shares his personal insights into why braille still matters, how it supports access to information, and the difference it can make to everyday life - from reading and education to confidence and autonomy.

Together, Laura and John explore the wider themes of accessibility, the importance of inclusive design, and the need to ensure information is available in formats that work for everyone. It’s a conversation that goes beyond awareness, highlighting real experiences and practical considerations that affect people with sight loss every day.

Whether you’re already familiar with braille or curious to learn more, this interview offers a clear, engaging introduction to why braille remains as relevant now as ever.
