Responding to your initial question, yes you could achieve what you want
to do with Audacity. I agree with David's comments about Reaper, but
would remove "probably" from his reference to the increased learning
curve (smile). In addition to David's Guide to Audacity, I would also
thoroughly recommend the Audacity manual. It is well written and has
specific references to screen reader access.
I have heard good things about Sadie but, being well out of my price
range, have not pursued it.

I’m being offered Sadie, a heavily scripted version, which I’m told works rather well.
Anyone any thoughts on that? ta

Hi Damon,
welcome to the list. Do you use Windows or Mac os x?
If you use windows there's a guide to Audacity for Jaws users, and which is also nearly all applicable to users of nvda and window-eyes:

Do post back to the list with any questions you have.
As you may already be aware, Reaper would be an alternative to Audacity. It's got more functionality, but probably a bigger learning curve,
David.

Hi there,
I’m new to this list and hope am not trampling all over etiquette by posting this.
I produce radio and podcasts at the BBC, amongst other things.
But I want to start creating more advanced podcasts with layered sound and music on separate tracks.
Can I do this, with ease and simplicity and joy, using Audacity?
And is there a tutorial I should be listening to or reading that you can recommend?
I want to be able to create awesome high quality broadcast radio programmes and packages.
I presently use Soundforge which I love but it is only single track, as you probably know.
Any assistance extremely helpful.
Thanks
