Heard on an Ohio radio station: "...Paul isn't here this week. I'm a lesser host..."
That out-of-context introduction got my attention early this morning. I'd never heard any announcer refer to himself as a lesser host. He clarified that his knowledge of Japanese music wasn't as deep as the regular host's and that he'd chosen a narrower range of music for the show than the usual host would have. Although his admission was refreshingly honest, I also thought, "That's interesting, going out of your way to lower the audience's expectations, right off the bat."
