face for radio
October 26, 2006, 2:43 am
both the best and worst thing about talk radio or podcasts is the anonymity of their speakers. best because it allows me to glamorize the faces behind the voices. i can let my imagination run wild and really create an image just from talking. the worst is when you actually look at the faces behind the voices. talk about a fantasy dashed.
case in point: one of the commentators on one of my favorite podcasts. she sounds cute and bubbly and ditzy. she sounds like this:
from what i could tell, she was cute, maybe not hot, but cute.
the reality:
yikes!
in other talk radio commentary. i LOVE npr’s science friday. my favorite is when host ira flatow just rips into the token anti-science pundit. (for instance, in the discussion of global warming legislation in cali, he just rips into the pro-industry mouthpiece who was just thrown to the wolves). love it when ira sounds super pissed. such passion. so hot.

about science friday: whatever. at least half of all shows deal with astronomy. last i checked, astronomy did not comprise 50% of all scientific pursuits.
although ira does have a sexy jew voice.
