@UTFort the reason something in his voice compels you to listen is because he's acting like he's reading to children. No severity in his voice, but a soothing book reader for kindergarteners.

What great advice and great insight into how radio works.

Why do people hate public broadcasting?
would you go to a restaurant where the chef chews the food for you so what you're being served is chewed food with the chefs spit?
I love public radio but don't like my mind being forced fed with conclusions or political agenda. A reporter or host should stick to their job description and let the listener be the judge.

NPR should stop taking our money to be Obama's PR station.

@got2bcash That would work better if he didn't bang the mic.

No, you are supposed to realize that Simon's workplace is a broadcast studio, and that lends authority to his claims about how to tell a story.

How to tell a story: +Be dull + Be boring + Be a monotone + work for NPR. Actually I like NPR.

So strange for me to actually see him talking. I'm used to having my head half covered in a blanket and burrowed in a pillow on Saturday Mornings when my favorite radio show is on!

I'm a professor of Mass Communications. What a great resource. I'll have my students watch this. It is great advice for any medium.
