(Go on… we’re both waiting for you to do it… don’t be a Wensleydale waffler!)And now, to this week’s episode... Time for a cracking chat? We think so.Our special guest is the brilliant BEN WHITEHEAD – the talented actor and voice artist best known as the voice of Wallace in the beloved Wallace and Gromit films.Ben is a leading figure in the world of voice acting, having taken over the iconic role from Peter Sallis, with whom he worked closely before stepping into Wallace’s well-loved shoes (and possibly slippers). His work continues to bring joy to audiences around the world through the timeless charm and humour of Aardman’s creations.In this conversation, we talk to Ben about how he got started in voice work, what it was like working alongside Peter Sallis, and the unique process behind bringing animated characters to life. We also chat about the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise, his advice for aspiring voice actors—and, of course, that unforgettable trip to the Oscars.There’s something delightfully British about this episode—it’s equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and just the right amount of bonkers.Featuring chats, comedy sketches, and plenty of lovely surprises, LTO truly is a pick-me-up in podcast form.We’re chuffed to have you with us!If you enjoy the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a quick review, and share this episode with someone who could use a bit of cheer (or a bit of cheese). Instagram @limitedtimeonlypodcastFacebook Limited Time Only PodcastEmail: [email protected] LTO is created & written by, produced, edited & hosted by:SUSIE RIDDELL & ESTHER STANFORDIt is a Limited Time Only Production LOGO designed by:IAN STANFORDTHEME TUNE composed by:JOEL WHITEADDITIONAL SOUND: https://freesound.orgSee Limited Time Only LIVE in London this July.
