I think the name you’re looking for is Snigda Prakash. You’re on your own on the goofy-lookin’ white boy thing.
Snigda Prakash’s voice is very nice. I’m also fond of Allison Aubrey’s voice, which has a bell-like clarity to it.
YO! Scout1222!
What’ve you got against OldBroads???
I’d love to hear these people let loose with a stream of profanities, as per the Onion article some months ago regarding Corey Flintoff hitting himself with a hammer. “Goddamn fucking piss shit fuck cunt fuck fuck shit fucking fuck goddamnit! This is NPR.”
She has a condition called spasmodic dysphonia, in which her vocal cords seize up. She completely lost her voice some years back – the ongoing treatment consists of having botox injected into her vocal cords. Yikes. Articles about it here.
I’ve heard an outtake of Casey Kasem cussing out his producer, but it’d probably be hard to track down a copy.
The guy who does local traffic gets on my nerves - Mike Millard - I want to scream at the radio whenever he gets on.
Susan
OldBroad - 
Daniel Schorr irks me, too. He’s definitely sounding old. And I swear, he’s almost pronouncing his name “Danielle”!
I don’t know why, but public radio rants just kill me! We get all huffy over the tiniest of stuff. It’s just great.
As for a voice of butter that makes all right with the world, I’d like to add Veer Singh from New Delhi - his voice lulls me.
And from WMFE in Orland, here comes Pat Duggins, who sounds like he’s broadcasting from inside a tin can or over a walkie-talkie. (I don’t knock him, though, I do like his stuff and his voice!)
Thanks for the info Robot Arm. Her voice helps me prevent prostate cancer.
The infamous tape of Casey Kassum cussin’ is part of the Negativeland song “U2” and the myriad associated mixes and remixes. It’s a hoot.
This seems like the appropriate place to declare that I hate the way Terri Gross pronounces her "r"s.
Alex Chadwick does it for me. I’m crazy for Alex.
I can live with Pat Duggins, but Buzz Connover bugs the hell out of me. “For FLORIDA PUBLIC RADIO, I’m Buzz Connover.” Ugh.
And while I never noticed the denture-adhesive problem with Carl Kasell before I read this thread, I heard it loud and clear (and irritating) this morning. So thanks. 
That’s where I heard it. I have some friends who were big Negativland fans and bought that CD the day it came out. But it was taken off the shelves when the other U2 (the one with Bono) sued them, that’s why I figured it would be hard to find these days.
As for NPR voice crushes; Carolyn Faye Fox of Says You!, smart, funny and can pun with the best of them. (And I’ve been to a couple tapings, she’s damn cute, too.)
I just wish someone would tell Bob Edwards to trim his nose hair.
I’m sick of hearing the whistling every time he breathes.
And while we are on the subject; is it just me, or does it sound like he is eating breakfast while doing interviews at times?
Thank you! Thank you, Robot Arm! I could only ever hear her name as Snick Paprikash. I will sleep better at night.
I forgot to add - I love all their voices! My only complaint is when there is some live program of post-event coverage with Nina Totenberg, Daniel Schorr and … I forget now who the third guy usually is. Anyway, while others are speaking, you generally hear Daniel Schorr exhaling as if he has the microphone stuck up his nose, or as if he were Al Gore in the second debate, sighing heavily off camera at the idiocy of George Bush and throwing the entire election away at the same time.
WARNING!
This is a Pit thread. If you have anything nice to say please take it to MPSIMS or Cafe Society. The Pit is no place for expressing your everlasting love for Snigda Prakash or Alex Chadwick and I don’t want Lynn closing the thread because you people can’t stay on theme.
And Sanibel Man, I’m happy to do my part to ruin your weekday mornings.
Pat Duggins can fucko off (happy, drop? :)) cause the only time I ever hear him is when he’s begging for money on WMFE. And, he doesn’t look like he sounds, which is annoying as Hades.
I’m bumping an old thread because he’s at it again. The man makes me want to hurl.
Be there an audio link, matey (argh)?
