It’s 2017, and in some respects, we’ve come a long way. But there are still too many occasions when blind people seek to go about our business like anyone else, only to find that airlines leave us feeling humiliated and undervalued. Emma Bennison, CEO of Blind Citizens Australia, tells Jonathan Mosen about the day her status as a frequent flier made not a blind bit of difference as she was treated shabbily.

As the weather warms up and summer is well and truly here, it’s beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas in New Zealand. Jonathan brings you a couple of Christmas offerings, one you might like to consider for Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown, vote right away if you’ve not yet done so, and the other is a children’s story Jonathan wrote in 2014, Louis, the Blind Christmas Elf.
