On this week’s show we feature an interview with author Jacqueline Bublitz .She chats with Conrad Browne about her novel ‘Before You Knew My Name’, her debut novel that came out earlier this year and has gained critical acclaim and commercial success across the globe. This beautiful and captivating story tells the tale of two women, Ruby and Alice, and their trauma, connection and our cultural obsession with dead girls. But, this is not just another novel about a dead girl. Giving a voice to the voiceless, Before You Knew My Name doesn't ask whodunnit. Instead, this powerful, hopeful novel asks: Who was she? And what did she leave behind? We also have ‘Reader recommended’ where Joy recommends author Michael Palmer. She says his books are edge of your exciting and she loved listening to ‘The First Patient’ by him. The synopsis: A country doctor in the USA is called into the Whitehouse to attend the president who appears to have “gone mad”. The doctor and the president were old college buddies but have not been in contact for years. The doctor is plunged into a world of conspiracy and intrigue. There are quite a few of his books in the collection; all medical thrillers. Bob recommend the author Boris Akunin and his series centred on detective Erast Fandorin, who solves crimes in Tzsarist Russia moving through to the Bolshevik Revolution Bob loved ‘The State Councellor’ but if you want to start with the first in the series, ‘The Winter Queen’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conrad brings us an important perspective on the year of protests on southern Vancouver Island – the company, the logging, the First Nations, and the misinformation. Teal Jones is a value-added manufacturer that employs more than 1,000 British Columbians, most of those in milling and manufacturing. It does not ship any raw logs. Most of its logging on Vancouver Island is in second-growth, and the company has invested millions to build a mill specialized in maximizing value from smaller second-growth trees. It has a history of respectful engagement with First Nations in whose territories it works. So, why is the company facing blockades? Listen to find out.

In this second series of Inform, we’ll be discussing accessibility. But not as you might know it. From accessible workplaces, to assistive technology, we’ll be asking what accessibility means and why it matters. We'll also be discussing some strategies and tips for things like advocating for accessibility or accessing information on assistive technology. Accessibility in the workplace In episode one, we spoke with Daniel, a lawyer who has experience advocating for his own accessibility. For Daniel, accessibility is about welcoming people in. He discusses how his vision impairment impacts his experience navigating the world and talks about what he did to advocate for his own accessibility in the workplace. He also has some tips and advice for anyone in a similar situation. I think for me, accessibility comes back to that idea that you want to welcome people in rather than shut people out. And by acknowledging that that's not easy, that's part of it. But by acknowledging that it's necessary, that's also a really important part of it—Daniel Health equality and accessibility Also in this episode we speak with epidemiologist, Dr Jerome Rachele. Dr Rachele works in the disability and health unit at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health at the University of Melbourne. He discusses his research about the link between accessible cities and health equality. And he too has some advice for dealing with accessibility challenges. So if we have an accessible city, we have an inclusive society. And politicians, for example, often will speak about the need to have people in employment, so that they can be off the Disability Support Pension or can be paying tax. But inclusion in society is so much more than that. It's so much more than just employment. It's about, you know, allowing people to be different, allowing people to participate in recreation, allowing people to attend events, having a society where everyone's welcome and can have no restrictions in their participation—Dr Jerome Rachele Vision Australia Radio Before we hear from Daniel and Dr Rachele though, we visit Vision Australia Radio. At Vision Australia, we talk to Conrad Browne the manager of Vision Australia Radio and Audio and volunteer reader, Jo Manager. We discuss the services offered by Vision Australia Radio and how they make information accessible for a wide audience. It was a quite an interesting way of using the community radio network to deliver this service publicly. In a way, it was really revolutionary, because you were using something that reaches a lot of people in a in a way that was truly accessible. Everyone had a radio in their home. It's evolved over the 40 years, but it still has remained quite true to itself—Conrad Browne Do you have a story of accessibility that you'd like to share?
