Title: What is your public radio name?
Post by: roo_ster on June 05, 2012, 03:22:43 PM: http://www.publicradionamegenerator.com/

You, too, can have one of those wonderfully diverse & hyphenated public radio names.

FTR, roo_ster, in public-radio-ese is Bonifacio Biallystock-Northam.

You'd best remember the hyphen, or I'll slap you with a discrimination suit faster than you can say, "pseudo-sophisticate jazz bumper music."

Put your name into it again.

And then again.

Post by: Devonai on June 06, 2012, 06:47:17 AM: I love it. NPR is the only talk radio I get in my area, so despite some snort-worthy commentary I listen to it all the time.

In CT we have Lucy Nalpathantial (best guess) who sounds exactly like "Asian reporter Trisha Takanawa" from Family Guy. So much so I have to wonder if Alex Borstein is doing an impression of her.

Would prefer "Rock Steeltimber" for my radio name.

Or maybe "Dr. Reichardt Eisenfaust-Hochenberg."

Add PhD, MD, LlD, "Sir," as appropriate.

The program is an amusing mockery of the occasionally high pretenterationness of the public radio format.
