The second hour of Katie’s annual Radiothon show continues to be all about the voice with in-studio guest Pen Larkins, a nonbinary singer, actor, vocal coach and voice artist. Katie and Pen play more songs by artists whose singing voices they love and also talk about a few voices they hate. JOY CEO Paul Scott-Williams drops in to tell us about Sing With JOY and Katie and Pen cover topics including how to avoid injuring your voice and how to keep it healthy, how your vocal folds work, playing with your voice and finding out what it can do, the variety of presenters’ voices on JOY, matching your voice suitable to your profession, and more. Here is the playlist:

  • Careless Whisper – George Michael
  • The Joke – Brandi Carlile
  • Mad About the Boy – Adam Lambert
  • Barefoot – k.d. lang
  • Woman – ANOHNI / Neneh Cherry
  • (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman – Aretha Franklin
