No RTE World Cup audio description is seen as an own goal by many blind and vision impaired people. Earlier this year we recorded a fascinating interview with Virgin Media Six Nations AD commentator Ian McKinley.

Retired Paralympian Martin Gordon's passion for track tandem cycling took him from Sligo to Tokyo and Paris. Martin discusses the trials and tribulations of high performance cycling in a country with no velodrome.

Wimbledon champion at blind tennis Tracey Compton and Irish champion Vinny Keeane take us to the No. 1 court for an insight into the lives of blind tennis players.

Paris Paralympic para-triathlete Chloe MacCombe chats about being at the crossroads. She urgently needs a guide to partner her on the road to LA 2028. Could you, or do you know of someone, who could guide a sprint triathlete - 750m swim , a 20km bike ride , and a 5km run – in an hour or less?

After 30 years of his Trip2Tipp Billy Shanahan tells us he's locking away the bike helmet. Before he does so he wants us all to join him for the Trip2Tipp grand finale on 27 June. He says we can cycle from 25km to 140km and help Vision Ireland. Jim Sweeney joins Billy and encourages us out of the saddle to crawl, walk or run 5k.

As teenage entrepreneur Nathan Proudfoot sits his Leaving Cert we dig into our archives and release a blow your mind chat with the ace student. Nathan is managing to turn his teenage hobby into a future career which is already paying dividends for disabled students.

From MayFest to Mizen2Malin to the Meta Marathon Man this episode criss-crosses Ireland and southern England.

We hit the spot vox popping with 12 Vision Sports Ireland MayFesters including a couple just married. We also meet the man who has attended over 30 MayFests and his friend who travels from Switzerland each year to provide support.

Maureen Madden takes us on the gruelling Mizen2Malin cycle to raise funds for Irish Guide Dogs. Tandem stoker Maureen tells us of being wiped out by weather in Cork and Kerry but preparing the sun screen for the hills of Donegal.

Clarke Reynolds recalls his unique history making Brighton Marathon. He donned the Ai Ray-Bans and availed of support from the Be My Eyes team to avoid hitting the wall. But, how did he pull this together?
