OOh! The Doc Himself! I wonder if we'll get to hear some Russian spoken with a Southern drawl while he's on the air?

Well I NEVER!
Loved the show, but really!!! To say that no one west of Ohio has a noticable accent!!?? I'm from South Dakota and I can tell you that my Scandanavian cousins in the Dakotas and Minnesota take extreme umbrage! Especially as to the question of whether or not "route" rhymes with "root" or "foot." We ALL know route ryhmes with boot while root is pronounced like roof!
listenin to da show

I can't get the feed -is the Dr. saying that 'rowt' for route is a Southern thing? I'm still attached to my NFL media theory. Sure seems to me that this is a word currently in transit. Have others noticed this as a shift?dang, I missed the show, and can't find the replay on npr, help? route(rowt) rhymes with boot?

I just listened to the doc's interview. Why so short
I had downloaded Windows Media Player 11 (I think) and thought that might help me listen to the radio show, and it did!
Contrary to what I thought, the doc sounds like a very nice guy. I always imagined him much more serious. Don't ask me why.

Languages rule!
The mac just looked at me blankly, but the pc downloaded the interview on the first try. (Mac, love, you're killing me, here...)
The interview segments are often short, unless the person is a well-known pop icon or political figure. It was good exposure for the alphaDictionary, though. I also noted the reference to "Mr. Beard"...

Scandalacious! He's a well-known icon 'round these parts, though I'd hesitate to call him "Pop".
