Ravi explained to  Toby all about how he got into broadcasting, pestering BBC Radio Scotland before he got his first contribution out on air, why he wanted to put together Blind Notes and focus on the careers of seven great visually impaired musicians as well as talking about his own sight condition keratoconus, which is very mild compared to some of the main common eye conditions.
