Script 1

This strange tale was one of the strangest I have ever heard in my life. Normally you’d just listen to it and think that the person had just walked out of the ‘tall story club.’ And if it weren’t for the fact that the Browning family had really existed, that there were photographs and diaries and people who actually knew them - as well as all the newspaper cuttings of course - you’d fast forget it.

Script 2

My family. I love them, but sometimes I wonder what goes on inside their heads…

My daughter. Loves the planet AND loves annoying her big brother. Ah! she’s a Hufflepuff!

My everyday hero! He does require a lot of flattery though. Definitely Gryffindor.

Ambitious. Misunderstood? Only wears black…he’s in his Slytherin phase! We’ve all been there…

About our guest:

Born and raised in Shropshire, Emma Griffiths has a degree in Illustration but decided not to pursue this as a career and worked for a number of years in graduate recruitment for Cadburys and others... so when when she decided to move into voiceover it was a huge change.

She her teeth in audiobooks but moved into more corporate and commercial work since because it suits her working style better.

Emma's worked with some big blue-chip clients including Chanel, Lego, Ferrero, Selfridges, and Audible Studios.

In her spare time she loves nature (she's a bit of a bird geek) and loves wood-walks with her Samoyed Toby. She loves great food and live comedy.
