Its radio, PEOPLE! Their voices are distinct because they need to differentiate and stand out. Some of you nitpickers mistake that for annoying and unprofessionalism. One thing's for sure, I will never forget Kavitha Cardoza's voice. Ever.

No, he had traffic cameras set up in his Florida home. Crazy, but true!
My disappointment with losing morning traffic reports is less than my disappointment in having to hear more local news reporting from WAMU.

and they've yet to teach Patrick Madden how to pronounce poet laureate.
I thought I Heard him today on the radio? I don't think he is very good and certainly not reliable. I think he basically waits for a commuter to call him and tell him about accidents and then he reports from his house in FL??

I love Kavitha Cardozo - she always has very interesting, local topics that I don't hear about anywhere else. I will also admit that I used to roll my eyes when I heard Armando Trull, but I have gotten so used to his ways that I enjoy listening to him as well...

it's pledge week, and Rob Bamberger's Hot Jazz Saturday Night is a program worth supporting... I've posted some negative comments here (mostly concerning Elliott Francis), but credit where it's due - Rob Bamberger is well worth a pledge.

Ed Walker To Retire From WAMU Due To Health Issues - 10/15 - DC radio legend Ed Walker (right) is retiring from his Sunday night nostalgic radio show, "The Big Broadcast," at WAMU, 88.5. According to wamu.org, Walker is leaving the public radio station due to health issues. He has been diagnosed with cancer. "He made the decision with his family to give his full attention to his health," says a station statement. His last show - a compilation of his favorite music and programs - will air Sunday, October 25, at 7 PM. Rob Bamberger, host of "Hot Jazz Saturday Night," will take the mic as interim host of "The Big Broadcast." At 83, Walker has been host of WAMU's longest-running program since 1990. About 70,000 fans tune in every Sunday night to hear the tales of "Johnny Dollar," the witticisms of "Our Miss Brooks," the Wild West stories of "Gunsmoke," and a variety of other shows. Walker's relationship with WAMU spans more than half a century. The first blind student admitted to American University, Walker was one of the founders of then-student-operated WAMU-AM in 1951. It is there that Walker met Willard Scott. A creative partnership sparked, and the two were a duo on Washington radio for 20 years, the mid-1950s through mid-1970s, calling themselves "The Joy Boys," which aired on the old WRC radio. Over the years, Walker and Scott also worked at WMAL and WOL.....
