The
Sunday Special
Special
Programming to Celebrate our 30 Years of Service
to the Vision Impaired

On Sunday evenings our final program, "The Sunday Special" features an
hour of entertainment and information in a variety of formats. Our
"Writer's Voice" series, begun in September 2009, will continue in this
spot, along with other
original productions created just for Virginia Voice. The Sunday
Special also incorporates programs from other reading
services,
but those
programs will not be available for online listening. This
page contains archives of original programming created especially for
Virginia Voice.
Programs are provided in mp3 format.
Each title is a link to
listen online. To download these files to your
computer or mp3 player, right click "download"
and select "Save Target As..." or "Save link as..."
Programs are in reverse chronological order with the
newest program at the top.
The

"live" on-air conversation and reading. Each
of those hours
will be presented again on-air, beginning October 24, on The
Sunday
Special, 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. via Virginia Voice's
