    Talking Point TT A Word In Your Ear Pt1 - 2
    Apr 15 2024
    Ever been blown away by a good audiobook? "Half a Century of Stories: How Calibre Audio Redefines Access for All" "Dive into the story of Calibre Audio as I explore how a vision for accessible books became a lifeline for many and sparked a global conversation on the need for inclusivity in literature." Join me for a special hour-long episode of *Talking Point*, as I celebrate the golden anniversary of Calibre Audio, a pioneer in making literature accessible to those with additional print needs. For 50 years, Calibre has not just provided books but has championed the cause of inclusivity, ensuring everyone can experience the joy of a good story. As someone who grew up benefiting from Calibre’s vast array of children's titles, I understand deeply the impact of their work. "Calibre was a beacon of hope during my childhood, offering stories that my mother, due to personal circumstance, couldn't read aloud to me. Their commitment to accessibility transformed my access to literature and allowed me to dream big," I reflect. Discover how Calibre Audio has shaped the landscape of accessible reading, from their early days using audio cassettes to today's advanced digital offerings. I dive into why accessible literature matters more than ever in a world that still grapples with reading inequalities and what the future holds for inclusive publishing. **Celebration Highlight:** Don't miss hearing about the "Inclusive Voices Competition," a creative initiative launched to mark this Calibre Audio golden milestone. It invites stories featuring characters with additional print needs, aiming to inspire and educate by showcasing diverse experiences through literature. **Listen to Talking Point: 'A Word in Your Ear' Part 1.
