Author: The More Library December 9, 2025 Duration: 9:31

In this episode, we speak with OS Harry Meade, who became visually impaired soon after leaving Stonyhurst. He reflects on his school years, his diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa, and how he’s stayed active despite losing most of his sight.

Harry shares highlights from his international career in tourism and his later work with Action for Blind People and the RNIB, where he helped secure major funding for children’s sport and employment programs. Drawing on values shaped at Stonyhurst, he talks about resilience, purpose, and the importance of getting involved and asking for help when needed.


There's a particular kind of magic in the stories that live just next door, the ones shared in a campus coffee shop or over a kitchen table. Hear My Voice is built on that magic, a space where student voices take the lead to bring those community narratives into the light.

Each episode feels like a genuine conversation, an intimate window into the diverse tapestry of society and culture that often goes unnoticed. You'll hear from neighbors, local artists, activists, and everyday individuals whose journals and personal histories collectively shape our understanding of community. The result is a podcast that feels both grounding and expansive, offering listeners a chance to connect with stories that truly educate and inspire through their authenticity. Tune in to discover the profound in the personal, and to remember that every voice, when given the chance, has something vital to say.
