Marc Silk (Star Wars, Thunderbirds, Bob the Builder US, Go-Jetters, Johnny Bravo, Roary the Racing Car and tons more)
Marc Silk has too many credits to put in this space, but he has been and continues to be one of the country's most successful and in-demand character voice artists. In our long and wide ranging conversation, we cover his early days as a producer and engineer on local radio in Birmingham, the day he turned down a job on Radio One, his love of all things Hanna-Barbara and Warner Brothers, and he has a lot to say about AI and the future of the Entertainment industry. There are funny voices along the way and a classic triumph over tragedy story to add to the mix.

Jake Yapp (BBC Radio, The voice of DAVE, Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe)
Prolific and multi-talented comedian, presenter and composer Jake Yapp has been working in the audio industry since he was 19. "The BBC was my University" he says, and was the BBC's youngest producer at 20 years old. In this highly entertaining conversation, he tells me about his career, and has some fantastic insights into the business of writing and performing comedy and music for radio. He owes his later career to his brilliant video 'Radio 4 in four minutes' which caused a bit of a stir at the time. We also have a long and interesting talk about AI and the future of the business. There's also an unexpected Easter Egg, which he did when the internet connection went down. He has his own comedy podcast: Modern Sex With Dora Dale https://shows.acast.com/modern-sex-with-dora-dale (https://shows.acast.com/modern-sex-with-dora-dale)

In a 30 year career he's voiced hundreds of commercials and animations (he and I were the Koala Brothers). Born in Sunderland, Rob cheekily got a job writing and voicing commercials for local radio and never looked back. Hear about his forays into musical impro, flying light aircraft and also his attitude to AI and the voice industry.
