The Marshfield Council on Aging, Duxbury Senior Center, Kingston Council on Aging, the Plymouth Center for Active Living, and the Talking Information Center have teamed up to host a collaborative low vision group on the South Shore.
The goal of this initiative is to provide a space for individuals with a visual impairment to gather and share information.

The "Stories of Music Artists" by John Pizzi
Airs every Saturday at 10:00 p.m.
"Hey everyone, I’m Johnny Pizzi, host of “Stories of Music Artists” here on the Talking Information Center. I’ve been fortunate to be a volunteer and a host of the show since January, 2019. How?...why?...it all happened one evening. I was checking out the news and I saw a segment on the Talking Information Center. The news segment reminded me of the service that is provided to their listeners by the staff and volunteers. They were all providing this service with informative and entertaining programming at a radio station. I called the next day because I knew that’s where I would like to volunteer, and hopefully, add an entertaining and informative music-talk radio show for their listeners. I also wanted to be part of a radio station and an organization that provides a valued service where the programming benefits many in need. It’s been all that and a way for me to give back while learning” - Johnny Pizzi
Join us every Saturday at 10:00 p.m. to hear TIC's new program, "Stories of Music Artists" by TIC Volunteer, John Pizzi! What is this show about?! We'll let John explain:
“Hey my friends, I hope you will join me for “Stories of Music Artists” here on TIC. The show will “turn print into sound” by featuring discussions from various writings on various music artists, as well as, talking music in general. Simply, we’ll be telling their stories and talking their music. In addition, the show will occasionally feature guests to talk about this together. For sure, it will be music and human interest informative and include some fun. I’m looking forward to talking about all of this here on TIC!” - Johnny Pizzi
