DZ Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 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...http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7310000/newsid_7318200/7318249.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&asb=1&news=1&bbcws=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 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.[Www])http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsIuT-Pdi70Actually, I like Charlotte Green a lot - she has the perfect radio voice, imo.

Martin963 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 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.

Kitty Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Oh Martin. You must have a lots of interesting stories to tell. You can reveal all here!My favourite voice is 'Boggie' (John Marsh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
