They have been married for over a year now.
Oh good, that means she’s all mine!
Good for you for defending your colleague - but you have no need to here. Read my post - I thought she sounded one way and looked her up to learn more.
No need for shaming - and most folks, including me, are huge NPR fans, so regardless of whether she sounds a certain way to my ear, I’m sure she meets npr’s standards for journalism.
If you worked with her, you must be involved with NPR and/or WHYY - it would be great to hear whatever behind the scenes type stories you feel comfortable telling. What’s Terry Gross like?
I’m glad to see how some of these names are spelled. I’ve been hearing them for a long time and always just hear them phonetically in my head and have often wondered how they were spelled.
A classical music host here (not sure it he’s local, semi local or what) always says his name as Sinjin Flynn. I had the darnedest time looking his show up until I found out that “Sinjin” is spelled “St.John”. He wrote a small article about his name here: Cover to Cover: What's In a Name?
So - that’s it? A drive-by Shame on You? Sounds like you might’ve been doing some searching on the lovely Ms. Johnston yourself, and came across this thread and decided to defend her honor, needlessly.
Sorry, “shame on you” came off a bit harsh. I apologize.
I worked with Windsor at WHYY for a short while right before she was sent overseas to cover the crisis in Kenya in 2007-2008.
As for Terry Gross – she’s quiet and keeps to herself. Very friendly when approached – other than that she’s just an all around nice person. Very tiny!!
Always wanted Renee Montagne to do a piece on Ray LaMontagne.
Our local affiliate has Anita Bugg. It makes me think of a crank call to Moe. “Hey everyone, listen up! Anita Bugg!”
I like to watch a show on ID DISCOVERY called “The New Detectives”, and, since the narrator’s voice is so distinctive, I decided to pay attention in the credits and look him up. His name is Gene Galusha Gene Galusha - Wikipedia [, and since he’s done some PBS work, I will include him here.

Here](Gene Galusha - Wikipedia"[/URL) is a sample of his work.
To a former broadcaster (me), that voice evokes thoughts of “Better take notes. There’s a test coming.”
He’s no longer with us, but what a legacy.
Thanks

Sorry. I meant to include the fact he’s done some PBS work.

I vote for James Coomarasamy of BBC World Service.
Not many people realize that Jim’s a rollie.
Parma Namdarama?
Really?
