We've got an extra Access All podcast this week. Former England striker Michael Owen and his son James came into the Access All studio in London to talk about how James is losing his sight, their attitude towards it, and the inclusive football game, futsal. Parents often feel real guilt when a child becomes disabled but, though it hurts, the Owens attempt a constant positivity. They present a documentary on TNT Sport and Discovery Plus on Monday 30 January called Football Is For Everyone where they meet the GB partially sighted futsall team. Though he's been losing his sight for nine years, James hadn't met another visually impaired person until they started filming the documentary. Watch out for the moment the tables turn and Michael starts to interview presenter, Emma Tracey ... Recorded and mixed by Dave O'Neill, produced by Beth Rose, Emma Tracey and Niamh Hughes. The editor is Damon Rose, senior editor Sam Bonham. Drop Emma a mail on accessall@bbc.co.uk follow @bbcaccessall on X and say "Alexa, ask the BBC for Access All"
