Tonight!!!!
 

Maria and I will be heard on Radio 4 in a program at 8pm (in 20mins) called "learning to be deaf". Listen for my guitar part :cool:

Its only a small bit that Maria and I get, so don't get too excited..

..although, we are :D

So why is there no link provided for the Radio 4 live streaming? Presuming they do that, that is. :D

And are one of you guys deaf then? Or have i missed something here?

Re: Tonight!!!!
 

I cant be bothered to do links...and I figured everyone can find Radio 4 easy peasy...

..but here's a link!

There is live streaming, but you need real player apparently so I put on the radio (92-95 fm)

Oh, and Maria is the one who is deaf :) but she can talk normally, dosnt sign, lipreads and wears two hearing aids. She's not a typical deaf person, considering some of the other people on the show...

Cheers. Tuned in now.

:cool: :thumbsup:

Interesting program, not sure how truly representative it was but was surprised about the different attitudes to signing/speaking expressed .

Re: Tonight!!!!
 

Interesting issues there, that being a hearing person who doesnt have any deaf friends i'd never been aware of.

I'm curious as to what Mr & Miss A*hero's views are on cochlear (sp?) implants now, i've seen a couple of documentries on that topic you see.

I hope thats not a personal question btw?

Re: Tonight!!!!
 

Nice one Matt & Maria :cool: interesting stuff there.

Re: Tonight!!!!
 

(just to clarify, the guy interveiwed as matt isnt me - i didnt have any mention apart from when maria told me to be quiet)

Cochlear inplants? Maria says she dosnt want one; the operation is far too much and she probaly wont benefit much more than she does now with both her hearing aids.

Maria is happy to answer any qustions!

And i also thought it wasnt that representative; maria was the only person who was happy to be a deaf person in a hearing world (as the programe put it)

Anyhoo thanks for answering the other thing. :D

Re: Tonight!!!!
