with Philippa Stanton, in an interview for this week's iPM.
By the way the podcast for our first programme is now up and running. It will be a collector's item. Of sorts. There's more here.
1450 UPDATE: Just recorded the interview. I found Philippa fascinating. Here's where she talks about the picture she painted of my voice:
And this is where you'll find MUCH more.

Listen to PM
Yours is definitely a smooth medium brown Eddie.
That's good, buy the way.
I believe my voice is heliotrope.
Eddie - the colour of melted chocolate, I think.
Me - the colour of a juicy red strawberry, ready for dipping.
I know, I know. Naughty step.
Actually, this will make a really interesting segment on iPM. The way we respond to voices and accents is fascinating, whether we see sound as colour and shape or not.
I always associate people with colours either through voice or action. Eddie is a deep coffee-tinted brown, Sequin is a vibrant green, Fifi is an orangey-red.
I'll go home now.
An intruiging idea, that's for sure. I look forward to this section of iPM :)
Mmm, chocolate coated Eddie ........ ;o)
Big Sister (6):
Chocolate coated naughty step, now!
Hmm, it looked plain black to me. Not my idea of Eric.
And it took ages t disappoint me, too. I like my disappointments quick, please.
Belinda - we've spoken of this before haven't we, words having colours, and yes this does extend to sounds too. Must listen to the clip now, v guilty of mentally filing away the clip listening/watching in my 'do later' file, but then never getting a round tuit.
Am I right in thinking that when most people say someone has 'a dark brown voice' they aren't really saying that the voice is of that colour, but that this has somehow become a phrase to describe a particular voice, like nobody really having mauvy-purple 'violet eyes' the way they do in fiction?
It must be rather irritating for people who *do* see shapes or sounds in colour if a that happens.
Aren't Elizabeth Taylor's eyes real violet then?
