This is especially notable with Peter Overby. Excellent journalist and presenter, though.


Back in the day, whenever Mr. Overby would come on the radio, I would have loads of fun imagining that he had just been rudely interrupted at the dinner table to do his segment. Then, I would guess at what kind of food he had in his mouth as he gave his hurried report. To me at least, the particular tone of his voice made it sound like he was eating mashed potatoes or a sandwich, and he wanted to get back to his dinner with his family. Yes, I have a colorful interior life inside my head. Don't judge me. But seriously, he has a very unique sound to his voice. I tried to look up his background and where he grew up, but couldn't find anything. It's surprising to me that he hasn't done voice work or animation, as he would be perfect for those roles.
