I Lost My Voice on Live TV with Polly Evans

Available for over a year

After BBC local news anchor Polly Evans found herself unable to speak while doing a live broadcast, she disappeared from screens overnight. Polly had been having trouble with her voice for months following a virus and believed the stresses of a high-pressure workplace and a busy home life were to blame. But unknown to her she had a serious neurological disorder. She explains how coming to terms with it has changed her life and her identity. In Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett, the award-winning interviewer speaks to people you will know and people you should know about the experiences that are shaping their lives.
