So much of our culture focuses on the obvious physical signs of ageing — our skin, hair and body. But what about our voices? You can generally gauge how old someone is by their voice, but have you ever stopped to think when this process starts happening and how? This question occurred to Katie when she was listening to Sir David Attenborough's divine, raspy tones on Netflix one evening. Join us as we gallivant down the rabbit hole to understand more about a question that has truly never occurred to us, until now.
