When Wade Goodwyn's voice came on the radio, my ears perked up. He would actually tell a story, not just report the news. His voice was authentic and expressive. He brought us to the places he reported from. npr.org/2023/06/08/116783745…

Wade Goodwyn, longtime NPR correspondent, dies at age 63

Wade Goodwyn had one of public radio's most recognizable voices, but it was his rich writing and keen observations that made him a listener favorite over decades at NPR.

Putting aside your Lord of the Rings references and Santa folklore, what does your imagination tell you about the height of ELVES? Like, are they smaller than gnomes, and are we talking inches or feet.

The beloved Children's @FairylandCA seems to exist "outside of the bounds of time." But will it change as culture changes around it? Well, maybe a little. My latest, for @kqedbaycurious. kqed.org/news/11948422/the-f…

Seriously? I drove all the way to Marin County to look at court records and the offices are closed because of a storm-related power outage. East-coasters would laugh at us… 1.65 inches of rain and 23 MPH winds and we fall apart!
