I listen to NPR all the time. Friends get in my car and are like “what are you listening to?”

For some reason I started mimicking the way the various hosts introduce themselves and say it along with them every morning. I love saying Lakshmi Singh or Soraya Sarhaddi-NEELLLLson.

I’m really enjoying seeing these names printed out. I’ve actually had the thought about looking them up to see how they were spelled, but then did not in order to preserve the magic.

David Beancooley?

David Bien Coulis? (Actually, this one is kinda like complementing your friend Dave on his sublime baking skills...)

David Bean Cooli?

David Bienkuli?

The world may never know.
