Description

This time we're chatting to Dr Amit Patel @blindad_uk. Amit lost his sight overnight (heads up that he talks about this early in the episode) just a year after he got married.

Unable to do his old job as a trauma doctor, or move about safely on his own - Amit says he was 'saved' by the arrival of his guide dog, Kika.

Now he's a writer and speaker and disability activist using Twitter and Instagram to amplify his message. 

We talk about,

what it's like to use Instagram when you've never seen it
how we can make our social posts more accessible 
finding happiness in unexpected places

Amit's written a book about his story, Kika and Me: How One Extraordinary Guide Dog Changed My World.
