Tales from the Tannoy

Everyone has a story to tell. Even robots. Have you ever wondered about the lives behind the people who provide the soundtrack to your life? Probably not. Did you even realise they ARE real people? Perhaps. Did you know that two of the voices on the London Underground are a married couple who work together all day long, even though one of them is dead? Did you know that the voice in your SatNav has a broken heart? Did you know that the calm, reassuring voice that accompanies your daily life has had a life punctuated by tragedy? Tales from the Tannoy tells the true life stories behind the voices you hear every day.

    Series 2, Episode 9: Post Partum Pandemic

    For many of us, our homeschooling efforts during Covid have involved plonking the kids in front of a laptop or tablet, so that the digital school teacher can guide them through their phonics. But who does the calm but engaging voice belong to? She's Claire Wyatt, and in the years leading up to the pandemic, that anonymous lady in the computer - who taught everyone else's child with friendliness and affection - was actually struggling to have a child of her own. She speaks to Elinor Hamilton...

    Series 2, Episode 8: To Infinity and the Great Beyond

    Most of the voices we hear in our day-to-day lives are anonymous. They tell us to put our shopping in the bag, or to stand clear of the doors please. In Hollywood movies, though, the voices we hear are often famous faces as well as voices, with their life stories splashed across headlines around the world. So, talking to people like them is not the point of this podcast. We like to tell the stories of the voices we recognise, but don't actually know. One voice that's been heard across Hollyw...

    Series 2, Episode 7: A Winning Comeback

    Trish Bertram will be familiar to television viewers as the continuity voice which has appeared between programmes on and off for years. In her view, though, her finest hour was when she became the voice of the Olympics. (But only just.) She takes Elinor Hamilton through a career built entirely on blagging her way in, and explains how she managed to face workplace sexism head-on in a somewhat unconventional way... Produced by Karl Svenson at Tadah Media.

    Series 2, Episode 6: Matched, Hatched, Dispatched

    Gina Mellotte has one of the most gloriously resonant voices in the business, so it's no wonder hers has been chosen to read out some of the most famous and celebrated names of all - at the BAFTA awards. But away from the microphone, that cool and confident sounding woman has struggled with impostor syndrome, crushing anxiety, and post-natal depression. And now, since lockdown, a double dose of unexpected grief on top. She describes her experience of loving and living in the age of Covid, a...

    Series 2, Episode 5: Not Checking Out

    Everyone has a love-hate relationship with that voice at the self service checkout in Tesco which tells us to "please rescan the item and try again". But who's the voice behind it, and what's his story? And did you know he's a hero... as well as being the voice behind one of the most popular characters in Paw Patrol? The man behind all those voices belongs to Andy Turvey, who talks about some of the darker moments of his past - one of which includes getting frisky with Mr Blobby. With Elino...

    Series 2, Episode 4: Balls to Buses

    One of Britain's best-loved voices belongs to Alan Dedicoat - the man whose dulcet tones could make a millionaire out of... well... anyone. His is the voice that announces the winning numbers on the National Lottery draws, but he's also heard on Children in Need and Strictly Come Dancing. (His boundless enthusiasm is everywhere, frankly.) The man fondly referred to as "The Voice of the Balls" takes a delightful look back at some of the highs and lows from a career hidden from view but live ...

    Series 2, Episode 3: Anarchy Descending

    Tanya Rich's voice can be heard inside the lift which takes visitors up and down one of Britain's tallest buildings - the BT Tower. Although she sounds calm and sensible, her early years were neither of those things. (And, even now, she works very hard to avoid either of those labels.) She talks to Elinor Hamilton about a life of rebellion, and the health battles she's had to overcome. Produced by Karl Svenson at Tadah Media.

    Series 2, Episode 2: Critically Speaking

    To viewers of Channel 4, Barra Fitzgibbon's voice is familiar even if his name is not. His gentle Irish lilt has introduced countless programmes, but in the last couple of years his voice has disappeared from the airwaves and he's now using it for an entirely different reason. Barra talks to Elinor Hamilton about his personal experience of Covid-19, and how this near death experience completely changed his life. Recorded in February 2021. Produced by Karl Svenson at Tadah Media. For more ...
