Chatterbox Norwich Talking Newspaper and Magazines
Chatterbox has been creating a talking newspaper, primarily for vision impaired people, since 1978. The weekly digest of news from Norwich in England has been enjoyed by hundreds of people who would not have had access to local news.
Our weekly recordings are being made available as podcasts to compliment our website (cbtn.org.uk) and memory stick distribution.
We include news items from the Norwich Evening News along with Letters, Information Desk and at least two fascinating features every week.
Alongside the weekly news edition we now podcast our version of the Chatterbox Norfolk Magazine, a monthly digest of Norfolk-based articles; Chatterbox Chataround, our quarterly in-house made audio magazine featuring interviews with local people and also our monthly in-house created audio magazine - Chatterbox Just Talk which has light-hearted features from local writers Neil Haverson, Gal Tina and David Clayton; celebrity biographies, local history, myths and legends, a monthly quiz and features and information for vision impaired people.
