The article explores the profound emotional connections formed through voices heard in radio and podcasts. The author expresses personal grief over the passing of Eddie Jordan, a former F1 team boss whose podcast had become a staple in his weekly routine. This loss prompted reflections on how certain voices, like those from childhood influences such as Robert Elms and Steve Allen, have shaped tastes and memories, revealing how auditory connections can feel deeply personal and intimate, making their absence resonate like a personal loss.
It's a strange thing, the way we form connections with voices. Deep-rooted, personal connections that feel like friendship, even though the other person has no idea we exist.
Hearing of Eddie Jordan's passing felt personal. It got me thinking; why do voices in radio and podcasts seem more intimate and emotive than anything on screen?
Voices, whether on radio or podcasts, create a deeper connection, almost like a friendship, leaving us bereft when their absence is felt.
My musical taste was influenced not by siblings or teachers, but by Robert Elms, whose show on GLR became a constant companion during my formative years.
