People in radio NEVER look like they sound. I used to be in radio. Most people thought I would look like Super Man. I would show up at events, and people then thought I looked like the Ty-dee-bowl Man. Well, I was always told, I had a face for radio. (Randy, The Lazy Comic)

“How You Think NPR Reporters Look ” Funny. Except that: 1) Ira Glass doesn’t work for NPR
2) Ira Glass isn’t a reporter

I always imagined Diane Rehm to look like Beatrice Straight from Poltergeist. I’m still always surprised to see that she in fact has white hair.
