Soon I am done with my show. I gather up my music and liter bottle of Diet Mountain Dew. But I am not alone in the lobby. The "new" Production Director, a dark skinned man from somewhere in California, is working away at Facebook on his laptop. I say "new' because we have so much student turnover. Anyone who hasn't been here a year is "new." Victrola and I, in contrast, are very very old.
"How are things going?" he asks.
"Judith's been here a long time too!!" (another dj) Victrola interjects.
"I know," replies the new Production Director. "Judith, you have a wonderful voice. One of the best radio voices at KPSU."
 I am dumbfounded. Whiny. I have a whiny voice and don't sound at all like a guy like women do in Philadelphia. "Yeah...all those 'ums'"
"You don't realize this, but I listen to every show on KPSU. Yours come on and I sigh and smile and close my eyes. It's...um..."earthly"...."
"Yeah, well, I have a couple degrees in geology," I counter. "
"Earthly...it could be from the mountains...from the sea...."
"Huh!"  I remember the man who called my Texas station, KEOS, and told me in 4,000 worlds how much he liked my mellow voice. That's two fans!!!
"You two...as far as I'm concerned you can have...you can do anything you want at this radio station. Let me tell you this, I respect my mother and my grandmother and my great grandmother...."
"Ha ha!" laughs DJ Victrola from the booth. "He respects old women!!"
The Californian just smiled. "I respect you for the experience you have."
