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

 

This week:

 

A man we’ve been wanting to talk to for a while now

 

The man who turned up to last year’s #WhiteStickFest - our virtual music festival to celebrate International White Cane Day - and won, because of his energy alone. 

 

He’s a rootin’ tootin’ son of a gun and his name is Blind Joe.

He’s also a country music artist from Fargo, North Dakota. 

Our conversation covers topics as diverse as music, family and the effect that COVID - or the’rona as Joe calls -  has had on our lives in the last two years

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues in this week’s show - or if there’s something you feel we need to talk about on future shows, please do get in touch.
