That's the title of the lead article in the December 2019 issue of "Captivating" Magazine, whose motto is "Inclusion is Limitless." And who is this person they are writing about? Why it's Roy Samuelson, master audio narrator and friend of the Audio Description Project. You can view/listen to the interview or read the transcript, where you will learn how his interest in and later career in audio description narration started at a ride in Disney World.

On this episode of the ACB Advocacy Update podcast, Claire and Clark
discuss all things audio description with Dr. Joel Snyder and Carl Richardson.
They highlight the great work of the Audio Description Project, including the
Benefits of Audio Description in Education Contest, as well as the 16th Audio
Description Institute, and the rapidly evolving landscape of streaming
services providing accessible user interfaces and audio described programming.
Once again the Audio Description Project's Audio Description Institute will
be providing training for persons wishing to learn how to become an audio
describer or to refresh skills. The dates are February 22-24 in
Alexandria, Virginia. Registration is now open.
With cable and satellite TV costs rising, many customers (1.7 million in

additional fees for their services. But what is a person to do if they
depend upon that good old SAP channel for audio description? Your
webmaster faced this decision and investigated many options. You can
read his report of how to approach the problem, what solutions are out there,
and what he finally decided upon, with a complete review of that service on
our new page,
