Ben Wilson is an actor, theatre-maker, audio description consultant and recently became Extant's first trainee Artistic Director. We talk about how he combines these different roles, what it's like having a portfolio career like so many of us in the arts, on his requirements as a blind actor, on questions like why do West End shows have different access providers every week in each different venue, and should arts organisations and directors who have never cast a disabled actor on their stage still be given a platform.

Georgie Morrell is a visually impaired actress and stand-up comedian. She recently appeared in an episode of BBC One's hit hospital drama, Casualty; where she was cast to play a visually impaired woman and guide dog owner. Georgie wrote an article about her experience in the Metro, where she spoke about how refreshing it was to have a visually impaired person play a visually impaired character on television. We speak to her about this and hear her thoughts on our other items... Love! With the world becoming increasingly more digital, we discuss access to online dating platforms when you are blind or partially sighted. And American deaf-blind writer Cristina Hartman sparked a lively debate on Twitter recently, about whether or not it is helpful for people to describe what they look like. Do you think it is helpful? Does it allow you to visualize the person speaking to you, or is it just a load of unhelpful information? We delve into this.

The person on the left has a blue and white polka dot shirt on, with the sleeves rolled up.
