Over an FM subcarrier channel, KPBS provides a reading service for visually handicapped readers and others who cannot read for themselves.  Our customers have special radios provided to them free of charge that can pick up the signal.  During the day the program consists of all sorts of material, including fiction and non-fiction, magazines, and so forth, and some network programming.

I used to read the Union Tribune one or two weekends a month, but in 1997 I switched to reading the Los Angeles Times on odd Tuesdays.  My usual partner is Barbara Lubin, and we make a good team.  For two hours we alternate reading stories,  devoting a specified amount of time to each newspaper section that we read.

KPBS is always looking for volunteers for the Reading Service.  Call (858) 594-8115.

Here are a couple of pictures of  Barbara and me on a Tuesday in May.
