Lothiansound Talking Newspaper

Lothiansound Talking Newspaper Logo

A weekly USB/memory stick recording of local news read mainly from The Edinburgh Evening News, plus articles of interest from other parts of the UK. It is a free service if you are blind, partially sighted, or have a disability, that makes reading difficult. The memory stick comes to you in a wallet. Listen to the recording (on your device) then send the stick back in the wallet, into a post box.

If you would prefer to listen online, you can listen to Lothiansound via our own website (LISTEN menu, option 2) or you can listen to all UK talking newspapers via Amazon Alexa on home smart speaker or via Amazon Alexa on smartphone app.

Do not hesitate to phone us or email us if you have any questions about our service.
