Have any of you heard this live on Radio 4 yesterday morning - it certainly brightened up my day!  I only felt sorry for the presenter...

Less sorry than I felt for this chap!  (not for the prudish, btw - although this recording's been "doctored" a bit - you have to imagine what actually went out on air.)

Actually, I like Charlotte Green a lot - she has the perfect radio voice, imo.

Charlotte was a fairly senior news group SM (studio manager) when I joined as an SM.    I had the honour of once doing the six o'clock R4 news with her as my "senior".    Very kind and professional she was to me as a relative newbie.

We were all delighted when she got a permanent job in R4 pres,  must be 24 years ago now!!

For sheer voice-joy I'd choose Corrie Corfield (who joined as an SM a couple of courses after me),  with Harriet Kass and Charlotte close runners up.

Cooperlola - thanks for the very funny video clip!

Martinwatkins - interesting information!  Did you ever get the giggles when on air?

Have a good week ahead, everyone.

Oh Martin. You must have a lots of interesting stories to tell.  You can reveal all here!

My favourite voice is 'Boggie' (John Marsh).

As an SM I was never "behind" the mic (we were the bods the other side of the glass doing the technical bits) - that's what Charlotte did before she became an announcer.    But there does seem to be something about a microphone that acts in a similar way to N2O.

It's all a long time ago,  but John is a very competent organist,  and certainly back in the 80's the pres teams were an extraordinarily nice bunch of people.    John was (I seem to remember) a R4 newsreader for many years before he went to R2.
