1987“I started university in 2005 and on my first day I was quite nervous, thought I might not be too up to the task of this course. Jokingly, one of my lecturers said this to me, something that haunted me that day, after I did a voice test for radio.

”This set me on a rather nervous path through university, but luckily by the end of my three-year course the same guy said I might actually be able to make something of it. So over the course of those years I either gained my voice for radio or learned how to get by without a very good one.”
