Every now and then, I find myself acting dangerously white. One of the hazards of being white is listening to NPR. Of course, I've developed some aural crushes while there:
Ira Glass and his girly voice make me all tingly.
(Seriously, could he be any cuter?)
Ari Shapiro is almost too hot for radio. Plus he has a husband, so I'd best step off.
And dear, dear Terry. Oh, how I wish I could have a gay marriage with her sometimes, just to hear her talk in bed.

Could Ira be any cuter? If I were prone to quibbling, I'd have two words: Crest Whitestrips. But he's still adorable.
Ari Shapiro...unnngggghhhh. Sight unseen, I wanted him. Hell, just his name makes me want him. Then you see him and holy mary mother of fuck!
jason, i agree. love ira glass. terry gross is enchanting to listen to. i also like the rare moments when david sedaris is on npr. he does a killer billie holiday. i almost wet myself...
and ari shapiro? his husband is one lucky dude!
I used to love waking up early to Bob Edwards; that lovely avuncular voice, so soothing even with the worst of the overnight headlines.
And has anyone every been as glamourously Continentas as the R-rolling Sylvia Poggioli?
her name sounds like a lovely plate of pasta i had at a local eatery...
Oh, I adore the geeks (which is lucky, since I married one) and Ira is no exception. Plus he's SO smart and funny and that is one hell of a sexy combo. Same with Terry Gross.
And as for Ari Shapiro, HOLY CRAP! I've never seen him before. What a babe.
I'm with you on all three counts. :)
We White People are so predictable soemtimes, aren't we?
For a while Ira Glass dated cartoonist Lynda Barry, what I wouldn't have given to have been a fly on THAT wall!
Oh and thanks for reminding me that someone else is married to Ari Shapiro and I am not. Like I had hope of fogetting that.
And the quad got tapped.......
I had no idea about Ari. My dear.
And Ira is related to composer Phillip Glass. His nephew, I think.
I am an NPR whore. Sans TV at Chez Michelle Guy I get most of my information delivered by Ari et crew.
Now that I've seen him I'm totally going to bone-up on his daily reporting.
Sometimes you just have to do what your whiteness commands, doncha? NPR- we all do it once in a while.
Jason, btw, you've been tagged...
Is this you?. (I agree, Ira is a babe.)
Great post, Jason. I listen to NPR almost 3 hours daily (but I rarely catch Fresh Air).
I've always thought Ari Shapiro's voice was cute. Now I see his entire, uh, package is.
Jason Beaubien is another one whose voice I love, but I just looked up a picture of him. Nothing much to look at.
Not yet, Vincent. Not just yet.
That's Ari Shapiro? My morning listening will never be the same again!
I LOVE Ari! I alwasy thought his voice is so sexy...then I saw what he looked like. Damn!
