(VIDEO PODCAST) The Next Chapter Series: Lois Allen Lilly started calling radio stations at age six to enter contests. She became a disc jockey in South Florida at 21. Then a PBS TV correspondent. Then a rights and clearances specialist at NBC News for over a decade, where she quietly became the go-to scratch track narrator for the documentary unit. Then a voiceover professional. Then a co-author of two books on mid-century fashion photography. Currently working on a third. She did all of this while being, as Kim put it, very New York — direct, authoritative, straight to the point — and then learning to soften that just enough to book the furniture commercials alongside the documentaries.This is one of those episodes you listen to twice.Sign up for our show takeaways, resources, and drink recipes before episodes air here: https://www.speechlessvo.com/RESOURCES mentioned in this episode:William Helburn photographyTina MorascoThom PintoDavid GoldbergCONTACT INFO:Podcast HomeWebsiteYouTubeInstagramEmail: [email protected] CREDITS:Music: Rick WilsonEditing: Hamza LatifWritten and Produced by Kim Wilson and Natasha MarchewkaProduction Assistant: Carolyn Robson
