Audio Journal is generically known as a radio reading service for the blind. Others we serve are described as “print-disabled.” Whether it be Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury or another disability, these individuals have difficulty accessing print material. Listeners hear broadcasts via a smart speaker, smart phone, computer, telephone, cable TV, or a special receiver tuned to Audio Journal’s frequency. Most programming is available as archived ‘podcasts’ on our website and Smart Phone Applications on both iPhone and Android. WPI completed our iPhone app in 2022 and the new Audio Journal Android App just went live on February 15^th, 2023.

Currently, we have over 180 volunteers, including 11 Board members, young adult interns from MCB, Perkins School, and Works Inc., and three legally blind individuals. Together, they read 88 publications, which include local newspapers, magazines, books, and grocery flyers. Our volunteers contribute a total of 5,376 hours annually. In addition, we produce 292 hours of original programming each month, spanning 56 different programs. The role of our volunteers is crucial; we believe we serve and engage two communities: the listeners and the volunteers. Audio Journal fosters a sense of community across both groups and brings meaningful experiences to each.
