The East Shropshire Talking Newspaper (ESTN) is staffed by an entirely voluntary group of people, and since its inception in 1990, has provided a FREE (weekly)
News and Features Audio Service for visually impaired people.
ESTN is a registered charity. Based in Telford, it provides a free weekly USB memory stick to its registered subscribers, and its content is made more widely available via the Internet, Smart Phone Apps, and the most widely used Smart Speakers.
The weekly 80 minute recording contains local news, notices, sport and features; including items from the local press and other local/national publications, such as Shropshire Magazine and TNF Soundings, alongside items produced in-house by the ESTN team; covering a wide range of subjects and matters of interest.
