Eugene
Sounds is a Radio reading, education and entertainment service
provided primarily for blind and print disabled listeners
that is offered through Internet streaming. In years past,
radio reading services for the Blind were restricted to small
FM or TV bands and optional equipment was often
needed to access the programming.
With
the advancement and popularity of the Internet, more and more
radio and other electronic media are shifting to Web-based
Internet forms of production. This means that Eugene Sounds
Radio can now be received by anyone on the planet that has
Internet access and wants to hear what people with disabilities
are up to in Lane County! Also, the Internet is accessible
to anyone, including those with disabilities, who have a computer
enhanced with adaptive technology for their respective disability.
Now
for the important parts: LILA NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!!
LILA
can be your opportunity to do media production!
Whatever
your interests, volunteer and produce it on Eugene Sounds!
For
more information contact the LILA office at 541-607-7020 and
ask for Eugene Sounds.
We
invite everyone who has an interest in oral reading, educating
folks on virtually any topic, or any style of music.
WANT
TO HELP? We really need CDs and other musical donations.
Please
give us a call!
Programming
We
are currently webcasting two local newspapers, The Register
Guard and The Eugene Weekly, from 9:00 a.m. to
11:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. The Eugene Weekly
is an independent paper that comes out on Thursdays.
At
present, this is our only original programming. However, as
time permits, we will be mastering books that have been read
for us by several faithful narrators. These include the entire
Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis, which are classic
children's books; The Endurance by Caroline Alexander,
about Sir Ernest Shackleton's arduous expedition to Antarctica;
and several others. What we hope to do is webcast these after
the newspaper, in tribute to these diligent narrators.
