Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

2024’s Disability highlights


Listen Later

It’s been a busy year for disabled people. From the Paralympics in Paris to the first ever blind winner of Strictly Come Dancing to a new generation of disabled MPs getting elected to parliament, 2024 has seen its fair share of disabled high achievers.

But what’s been YOUR favourite? This special festive episode features a look back at the past year on Access All - as well as the big moments famous friends of the programme have chosen as their 2024 highlights. It also includes the responses our listeners have sent in.

Also on the show - BBC Senior North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue drops by to talk about what it’s like working as a blind journalist covering the US - and the moment he found himself on the scene at a rally in Pennsylvania when a gunman tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

AND The Choir With No Name - a choir for homeless people - round off our Christmas edition.

Presenter: Emma Tracey

Producers: Daniel Gordon, Alex Collins
Editor: Farhana Haider
Recorded and Mixed by Dave O’Neill
