Year 10 student Evie created her very own podcast, 'Talking in the Dark' to raise awareness about blindness, visual impairment and disability in general, in a happy and light-hearted way. Evie was born with a condition called bilateral anopthalmia, meaning her eyes didn’t develop, and as a result Evie now wears prosthetics. Through the podcast Evie aims to get rid of the stigma and stereotypes around disabilities whilst having fun conversations at the same time! During the interviews Evie will talk to people from all walks of life, including, at times, people with physical conditions like hers, getting to know all about them and the lives that they lead.
Episode 47
This week’s guest is an icon of the restaurant industry. He is a two-time Michelin star chef, a best-selling author, and extremely popular TV personality, and if all that wasn’t enough he is also an avid marathon runner! This week on Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with acclaimed chef Michel Roux Jr.
During this happy conversation Evie learns all about Michel’s life and work including: the wonderful influence his family had on his career, the honour he felt serving dinner for Queen Elizabeth II at his London restaurant Le Gavroche, and the joy and freedom he finds in long distance running.
This was a lovely conversation with a fantastic guest and we thank Michel greatly for his time and energy.
