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…

Our guest is the man with one of the most coveted jobs in the world in the cut-throat profession of journalism,\Washington Correspondent for the BBC.

His name is Gary O’Donoghue.

In this interview, Gary gives us an account of how daily life in Washington D.C. has been affected by COVID, tells us how the rhythm of his professional life has changed in the last ten months since the end of the Trump presidency (and what he refers to as the associated ‘hour-by-hour tweetfest’) and gives us pretty much the most concise and eloquent run-down you’re ever likely to hear of the major political, social, economic and cultural issues facing the United States today.
