340: 20 Years of RNIB Connect Radio with Read On - Part 2

As RNIB Connect Radio turns 20, Read On this week looks back at some of the first authors, narrators and looks behind the scenes we've had on the show. Actor Allan Tall talks about preparing a Christopher Brookmyre book for narration and being thrown from his horse during the filming of Braveheart. Author Alan Bissett joins Robert Kirkwood after narrating his book, The Incredible Adam Spark. And former manager of the Talking Book Studios, Ian Turner, talks about all the famous narrators who recorded books exclusively for RNIB. Plus, as always, we find four new gems in the library
