Matthew Layton presents his last episode of Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

For one final time....

Matthew looks back at the start of Studio 1 and highlights the show’s many achievements. 

This show was broadcast early in November, however matters beyond Matthew’s control meant he was not able to post the podcast. We thought it apt to end the year with this episode both on-air and on your podcast feed.

Some subscribers to the podcast feed might have noticed over 2023 that the podcast releases have been a little sporadic. This was mainly due to Matthew Leyton's life becoming more complicated and him not having the time to devote to the podcasts themselves.

Matthew has always taken pride in the podcasts as he has always aimed to give the subscriber an enhanced experience over the broadcast show. 
With the year rushing headlong into a conclusion and Matthew no longer working with us, I have made the decision to release those episodes he never got around to releasing in their original broadcast form.

This episode we wrap up the Games and look at what some of the results mean for the Paralympics and beyond.

We all miss Matthew as much as you, the listener, do and of course we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours back in Britain.
