On this week’s show 

“How Much can you see... Really?” 

How often do you get asked “How much can you actually see?” and how do you feel when someone asks you that question?  We asked a few friends this question, with mixed results – mostly positive – it turns out most of us simply want to be understood... even when we don’t really know how to answer the question. 

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.   

You may also be interested in joining our choir of angels and telling your story.

On this week’s show 

“Changing Track” 

It’s unusual we release the podcast of a show before it airs, however we have our reasons... 

“In a velodrome on the other side of the world, three Australian cyclists are about to chase a Paralympic dream that they could never have anticipated.” 

A new documentary called “Changing Track” premieres in theatres around Australia on the 3rd December.  Sam talks to Emily Petricola, one of the athletes featured; as well as writers and Producers: Timothy and Tristan Kenyon.   

We present a preview of what to expect: some insights into the motivation of both the subjects of the film, and indeed the producers of it; and why seeing some films on the big screen is so important.   

If you want to see “Changing Track” - at the moment for one night only – go to https://changingtrack.com/tickets/

“Annette and Valda” 

How can losing sight reshape your identity; relationships; and daily life. We also ask what adaptations people make to rebuild and thrive.   

Lizzie talks to two women about how losing their sight changed their lives; how their connections to family and friends enabled them to recover; and how that has affected their lives going forward.
