Weekend Edition Sunday

I had listened to every episode of Weekend Edition Sunday for decades, with great pleasure. But since Ayesha Rascoe became the host I am no longer able to do so. My Sundays have been significantly diminished as a result. The main reason is her voice. It is so grating that I find it difficult to believe she was chosen as the voice of a major news platform for NPR. In addition to the fingernails on a blackboard quality of her voice, she sometimes drops her 'g's, and often slightly slurs, seemingly in too much of a hurry. She is an excellent journalist and interviewer, but she does not have a voice for radio. I say that having been a broadcast journalist for almost 25 years.
