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.

Every night across the UK, the evening news is introduced by the same voice. She has always sounded calm, composed, and confident. That delivery has never wavered, even when life away from the microphone left her feeling quite the opposite. Elinor Hamilton talks to Gayanne Potter. Recorded in February 2020, and produced by Karl Svenson at Tadah Media.
