Listen "04 - Jonathan Penny"
Episode Synopsis
I talk to Jonathan Penny about audio description for TV. He worked at ITV and is now at Channel 4 heading up their access services. And we also cover a bit about live subtitles, and how TV companies are starting to look at creating audio introductions to help blind and partially sighted viewers have more information about a show before watching it as there is only so much you can describe within the show.Links ITV's accessibility inbox - [email protected] - for comments/complaints/to find out more about the users' forum ITV's accessibility statement - https://www.itv.com/terms/articles/accessibility VocalEyes – www.vocaleyes.co.uk FutureLearn course - https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/creating-audio-description-for-equality-diversity-and-inclusion Trigger Point character introductions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oJazqxGxSA Scottish Opera Audio Described performances - https://www.scottishopera.org.uk/discover-opera/accessible-performances/ Thanks for listening!
