I know, I know, that was low, considering that her voice is a product of a very unfortunate medical condition, but my empathy for her problem doesn't solve the fact that her voice gives me the creeps.

"we're gonna have PIE, darrel! do you like PIE?!" i dunno. the NPR sound always struck me as being just a little superior and condescending.

He's even worse than that woman who always sounds like she's got a mouth full of marbles. Is he on nationwide or is that just a Southern California thing?

BBC does the same thing from what I hear. I like the NPR voice (and the BBC voice too if I really want to fall asleep) a lot. Very comforting and soothing. I’m not surprised at all.

I suppose this story explains the unified delivery, but do they have somebody else teaching them the standard, pretentious NPR vocabulary?
