BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts

Hello, I'm Asma Meir. Before you listen to your podcast, I'd like to remind you about the Radio

4 Christmas appeal, which may be as familiar to you as carols and Christmas crackers. Over

its long history, Radio 4 listeners have supported St Martin in the fields to provide practical

help and support to thousands of people so that they can leave homelessness behind. Many

people from many reasons find themselves a long way from home. Their journey home can start

anytime and anywhere. It can start with a cup of tea and someone listening. It can start with a

deposit for a room in a house. Please support the BBC Radio 4 Christmas appeal with St Martin

in the fields by donating online on the Radio 4 website. Whether you're a long standing donor

or this is your first year, thank you. Home starts here. Should we just ask Sam how he is for once?

We could do why not in the spirit of December. What are you working on apart from this?

documentary. Is it a sinister documentary? Or a celebratory. It is celebratory. I hope you're

going to mention choir girls. I'm not, but only because it is focusing upon the process of the voice

breaking. That's interesting. Fe is still waiting. No joy at all. A whole group years ago.

The BBC is pro to bring you fortunately with fee and yen.

My dad, once as a choir boy, had such a lovely high voice. I mean, he couldn't hold a note after

his voice had broken. He had a really lovely, he couldn't sing afterwards. Yeah, he had a lovely

whatever its treble voice to the point at which he actually had a vinyl disk made of himself singing

over the wings of a dove when he was about seven. Really? Yeah, by whatever it was, you know,
