Radio Reading Network

The good people of the RRN distribute one-​band radios to folks who have vision problems, like my mother in law, who has macular denigration and is nearly completely blind. The RRN has volunteers who read newspapers, magazines and books over the radio, and provides ²⁴⁄₇ worth of programs.
Some of the publications they read include the local paper — the Baltimore Sun, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, tons of magazines like People, National Geographic, New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, the Economist — you name it. They even read aloud the newspaper inserts for grocery and department stores!
A large print schedule is distributed weekly, and you can also call a toll-​free number for a tape recording of the week’s schedule.
The RRN is also in many other major cities. Just google Radio Reading Network and the name of your city to find a location. Oh — and the service is $ 50 a year, or free for those who can’t afford it.
