"Radio Voices" You Like to Listen To

The only radio I listen to is This American Life, but I love Ira Glass and his nerdy voice.

Ira's good. I also need to add "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me's" Peter Sagal to my list. He has great enunciation.

If you're going to nominate Peter Sagal, we also have to throw in Carl Kassell.

For regular radio programs: Gary Owens' show on KMPC Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s, Vin Scully's Dodgers-game broadcasts, Hilly Rose's late-night call-in show on KFI (think Larry King's old radio show, only better and snappier.)

For radio-type material, radio theater and other voice acting; nothing tops Stan Freberg and his 50s-60s associates June Foray, Paul Frees, Daws Butler, Hans Conreid, Jesse White and others.

Cartoon voices: Mel Blanc

The only ones I end up hearing as far as talk radio are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Roger Hedgecock (whom I've met twice--he knows the Boneys of Henry's Marketplace fame here in San Diego--Henry Boney's wife, Jesse Grame, is my maternal grandfather's sister).

I adore Sean Hannity.

As far as historical personalities go, I'm quite fond of hearing clips of Wolfman Jack (you might know him from American Graffiti). What a voice.

Oh good, I was hoping someone would.
