This week as part of RNIB Connect Radio’s 20th Anniversary celebrations we’re looking back at the last two decades in accessible technology and beyond. Our special guests are talking about some of their favourite pieces of technology from yesteryear, some you might know and some that might be better best forgotten.



You can listen to the show live in the UK every Tuesday at 1pm on Freeview Channel 730, online at RNIB Connect Radio | RNIB , or on your smart speaker.



You'll hear new episodes of the Tech Talk Podcast every Friday so make sure you're subscribed to never miss an episode.
