@CreativeChris@tweesecake.social @JonathanMosen@caneandable.social One of my favorite things to share about Gary is that I heard him on the BBC for a few years before I even realized he was blind.

@Jage@mas.to @CreativeChris@tweesecake.social @JonathanMosen@caneandable.social I first heard his voice via Blind Cool Tech in his review of a Nagra ARES voice recorder. It was only a few years later that I realised with delight that he worked for the BBC as a prominent journalist.

@Jage@mas.to @CreativeChris@tweesecake.social You know it's interesting. When I worked in radio fulltime in New Zealand, I wouldn't mention it often because it was rarely relevant, but occasionally, I would mention that I was blind. And inevitably, when I did, we'd get a bunch of calls from people saying, "wow, you don't sound blind". Who knows what they think a blind person sounds like.
