About 10% of Australians cannot pick up print material and read it. Podcasting offers a contemporary alternative to text, and the City Of Darebin in Victoria have been the first council to use it for their community newsletter. We speak with Garry Minato, Website Officer for the City, mayor Stanley Chiang and Vision Australia's Margaret Campion about this innovation.
