About this episode
Meet the man who has served the RNLI for 50 years – a quarter of its existence
Richard Adams joined the RNLI on the 29 May 1973. He left school on a Thursday, started at the RNLI the following Tuesday, and has been at the charity ever since!
He talks about the changes he’s seen, and about the things that have remained the same – such as the stapler he has kept on his desk since 1974.
200 Voices is produced by Adventurous Audio for the RNLI
Interview by RNLI’s Eleanor Driscoll
Soundtrack composed and performed by Jon Nicholls
