Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on July 14, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Mitchell! Another year older and wiser—though we're still tuning in to see if the latter holds true. Your voice has guided countless listeners through breaking news with clarity, wit, and that unmistakable British charm. From your impeccable handling of BBC radio broadcasts to gracefully navigating those unexpected on-air hiccups (we won't mention specifics!), you've truly set a gold standard.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as when deadlines are met early or technical glitches miraculously resolve themselves seconds before airtime. May your day be filled with laughter—and may all microphones behave impeccably today!
