A 2005 radio clip from a man claiming to be the artist is ‘a bit of a find’, according to a new BBC series
Mystery has shrouded the entire career of the street artist Banksy, but a new BBC podcast and Radio 4 series may just have revealed something about him: his voice.
The Banksy Story features a 2005 recording that has only ever been broadcast in the US, and which, according to the show, is “a bit of a find”. The clip is from the All Things Considered news show on the NPR (National Public Radio) station, which was broadcast on 24 March – a few days after the artist exhibited his own work in the Met, AKA New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
