The RNIB has launched Overdrive, its audiobook download service. It currently has 12,000 of the RNIB's 23,000 audiobooks available, with the rest said to be added by the end of the year. Peter White speaks to Clive Gardiner, Head of Reading and Content Services, about how this new strand of service for the RNIB's Talking Book library will work.

Braille labelling on supermarket packaging has been appearing since 2001, but how is it done, and what measures are put in place to ensure the labels are correct? Peter White goes shopping in the Co-op and asks its National Environmental Manager, Iain Ferguson, to give him the nuts and bolts of getting legible dots on boxes and bottles.

Every year, some 200 blind and visually impaired young people from around the world, journey to Alabama, to take part in what's known as Space Camp. Here they get to take part in simulated space missions and experience some aspects of fighter pilot training. We hear from a couple of this year's would-be astronauts.
