大象传媒

Comedian Lost Voice Guy tells Ouch that the late Stephen Hawking made it more acceptable for people like him, who speak using a voice synth.

Also, should the professor's voice be used again by someone else? And the heat is getting turned up as we hear more stories from wheelchair-users like the 大象传媒's Frank Gardner who have had their wheelchairs damaged when travelling by plane.

And, as we continue our programme dedicated to Stephen Hawking, we speak with Peter Benie. He is one of the team who helped recreate Hawking's distinctive electronic voice because it was thought the original one which he had been using since the 80s, would break down. They managed to complete the long-running project just before he died.

Baroness Jane Campbell and journalist Ellis Palmer are in the studio.

Presented by Kate Monaghan and Simon Minty.
