I was witness to something which I found utterly remarkable yesterday afternoon. Lyn has recently been doing a slot on Revival Internet Radio. She usually just selects the music and triggers some jingles for her shows, but yesterday she conducted an interview with Garry Moat, the lead singer of Burnt Out Wreck. It was fascinating to watch: L had been preparing for days, typing questions into her Ipad ready to play when she contacted Moat on Skype. She had also found software which lets you record Skype conversations. Then, at about five yesterday with everything set up, I watched her ring Moat on her computer and hold a very successful, rather fascinating interview.
I felt very proud as I watched Lyn. More and more communication aid users are doing stuff like this and L is one of the people leading the way. She spent the rest of the day editing the audio she got, ready to broadcast on Friday. She played the final piece last night for me though, and I was struck by how professional it sounded and the quality of the conversation – it really was quite fascinating. Let’s hope this is the first interview Lyn does of many.
