Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.
On this week’s show
"Is Ignorance Bliss?”
We ask, is ignorance bliss, or simply another form of discrimination?
Six of our friends talk about how they have been discriminated against or singled out in sometimes strange but often subtle ways - usually by people who believe they are doing the right thing.
We also have a call to action from our listeners. Next week we are looking into the updates to the 13 Cabs app, and we want Dog Guide users to test it out.
What can you do?
- If you haven’t already, install the 13 Cabs App.
- In the options declare you are an Assistance Dog user.
- Book a taxi and take a ride (doesn’t matter how far or where)
- Let us know how things worked out.
Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.
