Stone's Throw

Biting my nails while waiting in traffic to get into the city this morning, the radio turned on (yes, all by itself, you see, my cd player broke and ever since then the radio has a mind of its own and makes this harsh popping sound when it decides to turn on or off). Jennifer Stone came on (KPFA). I had no idea who this lady was, but her mature voice began to crack a little as she started talking about spring and birth and death and poetry and HBO...yeah, she's all over the place, but all in the right places. She's very poetic and knowledgeable about seemingly everything, and she enunciates every letter in every word with such care, it makes my ears tingle. She's sort of the female counterpart to Andy Rooney, but less crotchety. Sorry Andy.

At the end of each show, Stone remarks; "this has been Jennifer Stone with Stones Throw. Till next Tuesday at 3:30, go easy. And if you can't go easy, go as easy as you can".
