My name is David Redmond, and I believe strongly that media can and should be used for good.
Firstly, thank you for being curious enough to learn a bit about me. On this page, I’ll give you a flavour of what I do, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Right, what do I do exactly?
I currently work for Vision Ireland, formerly the NCBI (The National Council for the Blind of Ireland). As part of the VI Labs Digital Content team, I help produce podcasts, newsletters, and videos to help keep visually impaired people informed about the great technology that can be of benefit in our daily lives. I look at this as edutainment (education through entertainment).
I have previously worked in Marketing for the digital accessibility company Vially, as well as having more traditional radio experience as a staff producer for Cork City Community Radio.
I have great knowledge of the radio industry and wrote about it on a weekly basis for many years for Radio Land, a website I created to keep Ireland’s radio industry informed. This website has also given me great experience building a brand and maintaining that every week. I’ve sunset the website now to get some time back for other projects, but I’m super proud of what Radio Land achieved.
My career now is very much focused on using media to make the world a more accessible, inclusive, and friendly place for those with disabilities. I do that through my role at Vision Ireland with our Talking Technology podcast and Tech on Tap newsletter, as well as through various other projects with other awesome collaborators.
