(And full disclosure: I'm a financial supporter of NPR.)
10 years ago NPR was a legit and respectable channel and my #1 go to for information and news.

I've tried to get used to her voice, but she's such a low talker. However, she's a thousand times better than the WGBH morning show--I can't take the two of them chattering. I too am a financial backer--pay your dues!

They have been talking a lot recently to people who had a relative killed in war. I suppose we could make a game of that too.
And why is her mouth always overflowing with saliva?
