I know, trivial topic is trivial, but whenever I tune in to NPR and there is a male host he sounds like an effeminate dweeb.

I will admit I don't listen often. Does NPR ever do anything that celebrates capitalism or 'traditional' American ideas? Any shows I should check out to get some benefit from my portion of its existence?

Nina Totenberg is as masculine as it gets on NPR. I heard she got Guy Raz in a headlock over an empty coffee pot in the break room.

"Car Talk" is about as macho as NPR gets.

Mostly I hear normal, but very articulate, radio voices. Perhaps that qualifies as effeminate where you come from.

Your question lacks so much sense that it's impossible to respond to.

Try listening to Democracy Now. I'm pretty sure all the males have to be mentally castrated before they are allowed to speak into a microphone.

You should stop worrying about what men sound like. What is this, the ot?

Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me is usually fairly entertaining and has nothing to do with politics. They have guests on the show who don't sound like they got NPR voice training.

You sound like more of a Duck Dynasty kind of guy who shouldn't be listening to NPR.
