There's a lot of conversation taking place about Audio Description. While Flipping the Script is less about the mainstream AD talk, I wanted to bring some perspective to this discussion. I invited [Roy Samuelson](https://www.roysamuelson.com/) to share some of what he has been involved in as a means of creating awareness and advancing Audio Description. We're both pretty passionate about this subject and while we may disagree on what will be effective, it's clear our goals align. Our conversation actually went beyond what we both intended. This version however, is mainly focusing on some news concerning Audio Description awards outside of the blindness organizations, some interesting news regarding The EMMY's and implications for Blind Narrators and there may even be a special appearance from a Jeanie! For a less abbreviated version check out [The Audio Description Network Alliance or ADNA.org](https://theadna.org/) #### Getting to Know You!
