Neither do I, so that makes this whole discussion pretty meta.  But judging 
from occasional NPR interludes that I've endured on long car trips, I would 
have to agree with Doug.  There is a certain pious voice timbre 
characteristic of the network's announcers that I call the "NPR whine," 
which is tough to take for any length of time.
