NPR Voices

I like Sonali Kolhatkar from KPFK.

/Great/ topic, I often remark to my friends how unusual NPR names tend to be.

I’ll add:

* Felix Contreras
* Lourdes Garcia-Navarro
* Ina Jaffe
* Lakshmi Singh

The one that takes the cake, though, is:

* Doualy Xaykaothao

Seriously…how did this list get made without Ira Flatow? Do you even listen to NPR Science Fridays?

It goes without saying, but…

I don’t even know you anymore.

My girlfriend and I had this conversation recently! But man, how can you leave out Snigdha Prakash??!

I also second Lakshmi Singh.

great stuff.

i have a huge embarrassing crush on kai ryssdal, mostly for his name and his cheekiness.

I like:

Joanne Silberner
Frank Langfitt &
Dina Temple-Raston

I’ve been wondering about Shirley JIHAD for the longest time.
Do you think she is…?

“If you really listened to NPR you’d have learned a thing or two about Islam by now. Namely that not all Muslims are terrorists.”

Clearly. Some of them are 2nd-rate NPR reporters. 2 things:

1) How could you possibly post something like that in a forum that is *CLEARLY* meant to be fun and funny? If you ever get your head out of your a$$, you should come up for air once in a while.

2) Tolerance and understanding don’t come from public radio broadcasts. They stem from years of meaningful debate and dialogue, not just some 10 minute blurb on Islamic ‘enlightenment’. Here’s something to get you started on a road slightly more profound and satisfying, if only slightly less self-congratulatory.

Also, Ira Flatow is still my choice.
