Hear This!
Hear This! is an informative and entertaining, weekly half hour program brought to you by the Vision Australia Library and Information Service on Vision Australia Radio.
We have a great collection of audio and Braille books at the library and one reason to have a program like this is to highlight the many different authors, genres and narrators.
If you like to hear about books and authors in general, from Pulitzer winners to potboilers, from true crime to true love, from Australian fiction to fiction from around the world, we are sure we will have something to interest you.
So tune in to Vision Australia Radio in Victoria at 10.00am on Fridays to Hear This!
