Love her!!! Listen carefully - I think she is able to ask hard questions because people (her interviewees) also have her typecast as a little old lady. Get beyond the voice and you'll find a diamond in the rough.

She did a segment on Spasmodic Dysphonia a number of years ago: http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2000-11-03/spasmodic-dysphonia

By now I don't mind her voice, but her show is just awful --- she goes for the most boring, plodding, predictable questions. The show is invariably much more interesting when hosted by one of her stand-ins. That time slot should be put to better use.

Does anyone remember Damian from WHFS? His voice was really messed up after a motorcycle accident, but he earned his place in DC listeners' hearts.


True. But I don't think they would have fired him anyway as he was the owner of the station's son. His pauses were excruciating and played too much "Surrealistic Pillow" music, imo.

Disfiguring accident = No longer a supermodel. You can stay in the field as a photographer, fashion magazine editor, stylist, etc. but no one is going to enjoy looking at your face anymore and that enjoyment, or at least absence of pain, is a critical component of the job.

Not a particularly compelling interviewer either.

I like DR but I CAN'T STAND Kojo! The stupid and inappropriate jokes, the ignorance ... just today he said noo-Cu-lar twice! When he did Kojo In your Neighborhood a couple of weeks ago, he repeatedly said Silver Spring was in PG County ...

I wish they'd take him off. I miss Derek McGinty.

Yes, but Beethoven didn't try to SING his music when he was deaf.

Beethoven composed beautiful music while he was death.

This is the PP - Sorry - Beethoven was DEAF when he composed ...

I love DR's show still. Her voice is affected but it doesn't annoy me. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the mean comments but sometimes the hatred on this site still does manage to surprise me. Y'all are just mean!
