Quirky Voices Presents
Hello there
This the podcast feed for an eclectic and wonderous creative mix of podcasts under the Quirky Voices Presents banner.
Welcome!I have an interview show / MADIVA podcast (Modern Audio Drama Indie Voice Acting) and this is focused on exploring the craft of voice acting through interviews with working Va’s, producers, Showrunners and directors.
Anyone F’Coffee is a women’s health podcast hybrid audio drama / interview show.I wrote it and it stars women who actually suffer from the conditions explored, and are interviewed about it, as well as a medical professional or charity pro interview giving signposting for advice.
Other shows in the feed include TEDDY STORY
Join Lucas and Maisie in wonderful adventures with their Teddies. Journey through portals and magnificent twisting turning and loop the loop slides to far flung places with chocolate houses and dragons and clumsy unicorns and forgetful marshmallow cloud men and Mermaids who are afraid of the water....such fun! Stories narrated by Sarah Golding and with the occasional guest stars....fun times ahead! “Wait for meeee Tedddyyyy!”

ANYONE F’COFFEE? - Episode the Tenth - PTSD ANXIETY / DEPRESSION - RIPPLES
Hello all
I do hope this week has been a positive one in your world, and you’re getting some good support and cuddles where you need it...or at least air hugs at a distance...
We start our first focus on the impact of PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. Often experienced in self imposed isolation - before even all this mass imposed...isolation. We all can have low mood...right? Times when things are heavy and pressing or friendships or relationships Or finance or circumstance take a turn, and leaves us morose, feeling low and upset. Not wanting to do, to speak, to move.
This episode looks at what happens when a traumatic event is the cause, and how the aftermath of that might make folks feel and behave, and feel sometimes overwhelmed, but how talking, how therapy, self care and love and friendship can help you mend and continue to live more...positively.
I must make clear that the traumatic event was a sexual assault, so please be aware of that before you listen if this will in any way affect you. Thank you.
Diane Alexander is the focus for interview in the next few eps - she plays Flo in the audio fiction and this week we find her struggling on her own, feeling more than low and getting flashbacks to a traumatic event. We hear her in therapy and finding life too much in crowded places.
In her frank interview, Diane details how the PTSD, anxiety and depression manifests, and what she has done to help herself live positively. I am sure you’ll agree her sharing this aspect of her life is brave and amazing, with the soul reason to encourage others to seek help and guidance if they have had a similar event...male or female, trans or non-binary folks....please talk..please seek help because this world needs amazing folks like you in it.
