Episode description
Sir David Attenborough can make anything sound interesting. How does he do it?
It's all about two areas of intonation: TONE (pitch movement) and TONALITY (chunking speech).
In this episode, and to mark his 100th birthday I explore his unique delivery and compare him to that other internationally famous ageing RP speaker: King Charles III.
