Public Radio

I like Public Radio. I like the concept and I like the content and I'm secure enough to say it.

But why oh WHY does every reporter and host have to sound like they have a mouth full of marbles? You know what I mean? Take a listen to "This American Life" or "Fresh Air" and let the dolset tones of smacking saliva and patchy vocal cords wash over you. If you like to hear people whistle every time they speak a word with "S" then Public Radio is for you my friend.

Ira Flato, the host of "This American Life" is a smart person but he sounds like an old Jewish lesbian. Seriously, I'm just waiting for him to start complaining about bunyons and yeast infections one of these days. Teri Gross is also a good host, but she needs speech classes almost more than Ira does. She has only one inflection - it starts high and ends low; "Hi, this is Fresh Air, and I'm Teri Gross". Say it in your head with a downward inflection and you'll see what I mean.

NPR, good content, horrible voices.
