    May 22 2021

    From the BBC continuity broom cupboard to prime time sports anchor for Match of the Day 2, Mark "Chappers" Chapman is the voice of calm and reason when  a zillion outside sources are being thrown at him every Saturday afternoon for Sport on 5. What does it take to be across so many different sports, does he really want Gary Lineker's job and what does he really do during the second half commentary? In conversation with the Original UK Voice of Siri - broadcaster Jon Briggs.

    Mark (@markchapman) can be heard regularly every Saturday with Sport on 5 and seen every Sunday on BBC1  with Match of the Day 2 .

    For 25 years Cornelius Lysaght was Mister Horse Racing for BBC Radio - broadcasting live into  the daily and sports programmes of BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio 4. Whether over the jumps or on the flat, his voice has become synonymous with the sound of thundering hooves on turf. But what does it take to be a specialist in such a global and historically rich sport? And just how do you manage all those bizarre horses names? And why did Reggie Bosanquet put him off drinking gin forever? In conversation with the Original UK Voice of Siri - broadcaster Jon Briggs.

    Cornelius (@CorneliusRacing) can be heard regularly on his own podcast Corneliuscast and writing regularly for sporting journals. www.corneliusracing.com
