Who is your favorite newscaster on NPR?

NPR's Jackie Lyden, what do you require by way of fuck-you money?

Soterios Johnson just called Sunday "tax day" on his news/weathercast, tho taxes are actually due on Tuesday. Dick.

Eleanor Beardsley YES! Besides news I also loveeee Car Talk. The snorting gets on my nerves sometimes but I usually learn something very important.

Cart Talk calling it quits after 35 years (25 on NPR)! NPR will play best-ofs, however, for the foreseeable future.

HOLD ON...THIS JUST IN

CAR Talk also calling quits.

also, I love the guy who sounds like Tom Bodett. Every story sounds like old Motel 6 commercial.

Also kinda weird because Tom Bodett's has been a reg on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Can't remember that reporter's name atm.

Last thing: Shay Stevens' late night updates are very soothing. Doesn't hurt that they come on during Jazz with Bob Parlocha.

car talk is so awesome
rip brothers who wont stop laughing at each other

this post has managed to crack me up five times in the span of a few minutes.

she does happen to be exactly 69 years old....

i like zoe chace's voice

she sounds like my friend who is from rochester, ny.

I don't like any of them, but I do enjoy doing impersonations of Robert Siegel.

argh i hate zoe chace too! harsh voice, harsher accent. is she from cleveland? erie, pa? buffalo? anyway i came here to say kristian foden-vencil. who i thought was christian fodenvetzel.

i like how wade goodwyn always sounds like he's shaking his head, ruefully amused

I can't stand Ari Shapiro. I can tolerate a lot of NPR-ness, but Shapiro is such an insufferable dweeb. I can't take the bad jokes, the forced smile, the doting interviews with truly awful authors.

I miss Michele Norris and Melissa Block :(

There are few voices I can't stand. His is one of them.

ASK COKIE this morning! My Q: How do you *still* have a fucking job?

Mara Liasson's "analysis" of SC today was pure dishwater. Cokie would be proud.
