Pet Peeves

[Doug Drown]

I'm reminded of the late William Pearce, the announcer for WGBH who was best
known for hosting the BSO and Boston Pops broadcasts.  He had a wonderful
distinguished Cantabrigian accent, but it was actually derived from his
upbringing in Hebron, Maine.  His original aspiration was to become a
Baptist minister.  I would have loved to have heard him preach!

The overnight guy at WGBH-FM (their eqivalent of WBUR's Eli Polonsky)
makes Slim Pickens sound like James Bond.
