It's like a magic wand. Her job is to go out with the microphone, talking to people and then to decide what you would most like to hear. Mainly she works for the BBC, and has met lots of interesting people. There's the stunt-man who'd worked with Beyonce, the little girl who's so ill she hardly leaves her bedroom, the lady who helps pigs breed and the man who keeps a book made of a murderer's skin.. (he doesn't like to touch it or show it to anyone.. you can imagine why). You never know who you'll meet or what you'll find gathering sounds and stories. Lizz is a producer and editor with SoundAffects.   Mike Goldwater Mike Goldwater is a British photojournalist and film-maker.
