Tracks of my Life with Anna Tylor

Tracks of My Life is a show on RNIB Connect Radio presented and produced by Toby Davey where he invites a guest to take us on a journey through their life, sharing the tracks that mark important moments which bring back memories to them.

Their chosen tracks of their life might include the first track they can remember hearing, the first track they bought, a number of tracks that mark moments in their life and the final track, a track that they would like to pass on which might give people hope for the future.

In this trimmed down podcast version of Tracks of My Life Toby is joined by Anna Tylor who is the current Chair of RNIB having joined the Board of Trustees in July 2020.  

Anna is a long-time advocate for greater inclusion of disabled people and especially blind and partially sighted people.  

Anna is visually impaired herself and in her personal blog The Blind Truth she takes a wry look at living a colourful life with limited sight.

In Anna's Tracks of My Life we will go on a journey from her early life growing up in the Home Counties  to teenage life striking out on her own and taking the world on for size.  Reflecting on life bringing  up her son as a visually impaired single parent and her first experience of being actively involved as a campaigner.  Working hard during the 80s and 90s to support her son.  Anna’s  love of Bulgaria and her connection with the work of the charity Karin Dom which supports children with complex needs and their families in Bulgaria.  finally, Anna shares why it is so important to keep those long-term friendships and relationships going over the years.

You can catch the hour-long version of Tracks of My Life with Toby’s guest’s music tracks in full by tuning in to RNIB Connect Radio every Tuesday at 7pm, repeated on Thursday at 1pm and Sunday at 8pm.
