Insight Radio

Insight Radio is a national radio station based in the partick area of Glasgow. (It’s just by the Morrison’s on Dumbarton Road if you’re looking for a more specific location!) Officially Europe’s first radio station for blind and partially sighted listeners — Insight Radio is part of RNIB.
Now, first things first — I am not blind or partially sighted. This, however, does not mean that I can’t sppreciate Insight Radio! On many a late night when I’m making my way home and Radio 1 has gone past the stage where it’s entertaining and every other station seems to be playing nothing but adverts — I often stumble across Insight Radio. Now, I don’t normally realise that I’ve done this. I’m normally happily listening away to Coldplay or the like when the song ends and I realise where it is that I’ve stumbled upon.
Insight Radio offers talking books, blind movie reviews, RNIB job listings and information for blind and partially sighted people as well as good music. They have very good relationships with local charities, and can often be found mentioning charity fundraising events taking place. They also maintain a very up to date and linked in twitter page — which you’ll find links to on their website.
