Default Fatty Goodlander on NPR

Hi All:

For those who support National Public Radio (NPR) you can hear Fatty
Goodlander describe cruising for 48 years. Just heard the first of
several interviews this morning.

Ive read some of his articles but never heard this guy talk but must
say his admitted lack of any formal journalistic/rhetorical education
is painfully obvious. He comes off as a televangelist preacher. Sort
of a blend between Bob Bitchin meets Tammy & Jim Bakker. His delivery
is common among novice speakers who claim having “…years of public
speaking experience…” but miss the mark completely. It was forced and
sounded more appropriate from a two-bit carnival barker working next
to the Whack-A-Mole booth.

But heck…. Its about boats and he might have something worth hearing.
I’ll give it a listen.
