Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

On this week’s show

“This Sporting Life”

Having just finished two podcasts that cover a very serious subject Sam made the executive decision to move the planned show on people over 65 not being able to access the NDIS to the following week. As he said, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that they do not have enough material for said show… no not at all.

So this week we hear from our Choir of Angels about how sport has affected their lives. Sam also tells us why a man born in Sydney; who grew up in Darwin and lives in Adelaide, supports the Fremantle Dockers.

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.
