A short introduction/ explanation of how this podcast came to life.
I'm a House fan. Some people used terms like "addicted" to describe my love for the series.
I'm also a member of the House Group on Yahoo.

One day I posted a link to a short video clip there, and I got an e-mail from a lady asking me if I could describe it for her since she was blind. I typed out a description, and continued to do so for the following episodes for a few months.
When season 3 started I tried to find a better way of describing.
Since typing it all out was starting to take a bit too much time I gave audio descriptions a try.
I let the video run on my Mac and record my descriptions on a separate track. Sometimes with a little extra info and often with my own interpretations. Unlike the official DVS tracks I just describe everything that happens. This way, you'll get more information and I don't have to rush.
My friend says it works very well, and that knowing all the visual stuff that's going on helps her understand it better. And I get to practice my accent. Seems like a good deal, right?
When I learned there were other blind group members I thought it might be handy if I put this online somewhere and so the podcast was born.
I record it in two parts per episode to keep download times as short as possible, and it gives me a little more time to record as well. Due to lack of server space I can not keep all episodes online.
At the moment there will be 3 full House episodes available for download at a time.
There also are a couple of short podcast episodes of the physical description of the main characters, as well as a sample of their voices. Those will always remain online.
A description of the set will follow.
