Hello OPOB
I enjoy listening to OPB, except for one thing. The stammering delivery of the presentrs has gotton much worse over the years so that I now find myself counting how many times a presenter or interviewer stammers on the first wored of the sentences Terry Gross now holds the record for repeating the word "I" eight times before following with the seond word. All of the presenters and interviewers on opb have this ctammering characteristic so that I wonder if there is a special coursefor Stammering that must be attended before working on radio.
If ther is suchh a course, Juan Williams must have missed it since his reporting and interviewing contains no traces of stammering
A stammering radio announcer loses credibility since it obvious that the presenter doexn't know what the next word id going to be. It plainly shows indecision and a lack of direction.
Best regards,
Robert Hein
