When Crystal Palace play Manchester City on 14 December, Neale Ormston will become the first visually impaired commentator of a premier league football match. That's thanks to a new headset which has allowed him to see games in detail for the first time in years. He’s nervous and excited to join Crystal Palace’s specialist commentary team and wants more clubs to buy into the GiveVision headsets which have revolutionised his match-day experience. It's Disability History Month and the Disability Law Service (DLS), which gives free legal advice on everything from housing to employment, has just marked its 50th birthday. It started in 1975 - the same year Jaws hit the cinema. Andrew MacKay, its CEO and a lawyer himself, remembers some of the cases DLS is most proud of, talks about his team - 90% of whom are disabled - and reveals how he manages his ADHD alongside a law career. And Mat Fraser, a successful actor, musician and activist with short arms, is on the show to talk about a brand new arts project. Mat was a big figure on rights marches and crip cabarets in the 1990s and explains how you can contribute to Disability Arts Online's new archive project, Cripping Culture, which has received £250,000 in funding to make sure no disability culture memories are lost. He also talks about his recent double hip replacement and how he's already got back to picking up teacups with his toes...
