Here's a comprehensive list of what you'll be able to hear on BBC Radio Kent. | John Warnett | Pat Marsh | The Action Desk | Andy Garland | Charlie Crocker | PJ and Harris | Lynn Wallis-Eade
| John Warnett: weekday mornings |
Each weekday morning John Warnett will hear from Dr David Hornsby as he tries to find out which words and dialects we use in Kent and what elements make up a Kentish accent.
On Monday he introduces us to our five groups from around Kent and points out the differences as we cross the county.
On Tuesday we find out what we mean when we say we don't have an accent and why most us feel a need to put on a telephone voice. On Wednesday we discover what Received Pronunciation is and what turns that into `Posh` while on Thursday we hear how there's still a touch of the East Anglia about most of us in Kent. On Friday Dr David will join us in the studio to give you the chance to ask him questions and hear what he makes of the way John speaks! top |
The Action Desk will feature the Kent Speakers Club, How Literature can be used as therapy, how you can still learn a language in later life and what the Kent Champions can do to persuade you back into education to brush up those basic skills. top |
On the Drive Time show Andy Garland will hear about our obsession with talking about the weather, how sports commentators have a language all of their own, what makes a joke work and how you can take part in a day long workshop to learn more about the way we speak and the words we use. top |
And all week you can help Charlie Crocker to find the secret location from clues give by our local speakers from across the region. top |
| PJ and Harris@ the Saturday Carry-On |
On the Saturday Carry-On, Dr Olly Double, a professor of Stand Up Comedy will be telling PJ and Harris about the history of language on the stage and looking at the influences of the likes of Mort Saul, Frankie Howeard and Jasper Carrott. top

On Sunday Lynn Wallis-Eade will hear from an Army Padre and the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral about how they deliver a modern day sermon. top |
All week you will be able to hear what Dr David has to say about the way our BBC Radio Kent presenters speak. John Warnett, Julie Maddocks, Jonathan Witchell and David Linnington all go under the Dr for a bit of language diagnosis. And on-line you can get to grips with text speak by helping us decipher a really strange postcard! But however you take part, make sure that you have your say in Voices... | | | SEE ALSO
