But then I saw that one of my favorite authors, Anne Tyler, was making a rare appearance on The Diane Rehm Show, so I downloaded the podcast of that episode. I listened to it and, I think, one other episode - but frankly, although I found Ms. Rehm intelligent and I liked her style of questions, her voice bothered me so much that I deleted the series from my iTunes feed. (I didn't find out she was suffering from a serious ailment until a few months later.) -Tim
