DH and I spent a fun Sunday morning looking up the photos of our favorite NPR announcers. It was sometimes disappointing to have our radio crushes crushed by reality. The biggest pleasant surprise is that Eleanor Beardsley doesn't look nearly as annoying as she sounds. (I change the station when she does a story.)
Ari Shapiro is a hottie!
Nell Greenfeld Boyce's voice makes me change the station.

Oh, I remember looking a bunch of them up once. When I saw a picture of Ari Shapiro, I got a little weak in the knees!
Their voices are so monotone all their names sounds the same
Segal's voice is much deeper than Inskeep's!
Someone please save me from my nerdery.
I'm mad at our local NPR affiliate because they re-arranged the schedule and now I never get local and regional NPR news coverage anymore because it's on at noon instead of during my commute times. I have an angry letter ready to go as soon as they bug me for another donation that says as much. Also, I hate it when Kai Ryssdal is on vacation. ETA: To continue my rant, I now have to listen to the Takeaway and Here and Now during my morning getting ready/commute times, and they are both repetitive and stupid and I hate them.
As for the other question, I'm also pissed about the NBCNews change, and defaulted to MSN until I can find something better. I really like the layout of Al Jazeera English (*not* America) but I want a page that also shows me the weather and local news.

Nonny, I'll see you that and raise you Garrison Keilor. The DC NPR station plays the Writer's Almanac at SIX THIRTY IN THE MORNING. Because that's the voice that will wake you up!
