What do you call that jarring sensation when you see a radio personality for the first time, and he looks nothing like what you expected? The hosts talked about it in a past episode. Listeners responded with more words for this phenomenon. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Hostbuster”
In an earlier episode, we were talking about that jarring, dissonant feeling when you see a radio host for the first time after listening to that person for months or even years.
And a lot of people wrote in trying to come up with a word for this experience.
You know, Grant, you and I talked about the term host buster, meaning, you know, busting a person’s image of a radio host.
But a couple that I liked that came in through our email box, number one was inconsonance.
Ooh.
And the other was C-change, S-E-E-change.
You see them and your image of that person changes.
That’s good.
I like those.
I like those.
I do, too.
I like them a lot.
I don’t know if they’ll stick, but I like them.
