Episode 47: Years Reflections (and Happy Holidays)
As the year draws to a close, Naturally Speaking’s Laurie Baker, Taya Forde, Karen Hotopp and James Burgon reflect upon the highlights of another great year communicating the work of the Institute. While they discuss their favourite moments from the past year, we would love to hear yours. So let us know what you think the best thing we have done this year has been. Find us on Facebook, tweet us @theNSpodcast or comment below.
Thanks for listening, contributing and supporting Naturally Speaking for another year. From all the team we hope you have a great winter holiday—we can’t wait to speak to you all again in 2017.

As an extra treat we have some music from our Institute band, which plays an annual Christmas gig. Listen to Swapan Sarker play a traditional Raga on the Mohan veena followed by the full band playing a selection of well known tunes—we will let you guess what they are. Enjoy!
