I used to listen to it all the time, and now I simply don't, because of that voice. I'd tried other remedies: at the gym, for instance, I would have my headphones on and I'd play a little game - as soon as I heard the "Support for WNYC comes from" I would go for the volume control on the little radio strapped to my arm in order to cut off the voice from my headphones before the actual name of the sponsor was spoken. That was my little way of "punishing" them for subjecting listeners to that intolerable sound and cadence. Eventually, though, even that was insufficient, and I simply "fired" WNYC from my life. And, in the end, I'm happier for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826049717571987418.post-21853514127448571532009-11-12T18:45:53.941-04:002009-11-12T18:45:53.941-04:00I know that this post is a year old but I just fou...I know that this post is a year old but I just found it via Google. I also hate the sound of this woman's enunciation, the popping sound of her P's, etc.<br /><br />I have considered writing an angry letter along with each of my pledges, but I don't think that they care what a $20/month donor thinks.<br /><br />For the record, though, you are NOT being too hard on her. Why not? Because every other public radio station in this country--beholden to the same FCC rules--manages to find someone tolerable to read its plugs.<br /><br />I would sign a contract to double my donations to WNYC if they would axe this woman.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311177678984482447noreply@blogger.com
