John and Craig take a deep look at how descriptive audio for the blind works, with clips from Daredevil and an interview with a woman who does it for a living. It’s a fascinating form of writing, with many of the same challenges screenwriters face.
Also this week: Capitals, capitalization, the WGA financial numbers, and answers to a bunch of listener questions.
