Size isn't Everything with Charmaine Ashpole, facilitated by Roz Chambers MBE
We're welcoming Australian colleagues at a time to suit them to discuss a few of the troublesome questions about audio description with some of our listeners. We'll range from indicating size, to colours, to what our listeners would like to take away from audio introductions. Come with questions and leave with ideas!
