BBC Radio 4 - Jon Ronson On, Series 6, Voices in the Head

Academic Eleanor Longden hears voices in her head, but rejects her schizophrenic diagnosis

4 Extra Debut. Academic Eleanor Longden hears voices in her head, but rejects her schizophrenic diagnosis. With Josie Long. From April 2011.

Writer and documentary maker Jon Ronson returns for another 5 part series of fascinating stories shedding light on the human condition. 

Eleanor Longden started to hear voices in her head when she was at university and was diagnosed as a schizophrenic - a label she totally rejects. Now she is a high achieving academic. What started the voices and how did she get to a point where she not only lives happily with the voices that still exist but also works with others who have the same experience? With contributions from writer Graham Linehan and comedian Josie Long. 

Producer: Laura Parfitt and Simon Jacobs
An Unique production for BBC Radio 4.
