<p>Better late to the party than never, as is the case with the oddly funny, moderately creepy <a href="http://babesofnpr.tumblr.com/">Babes of NPR</a> blog, run on Tumblr by <a href="http://twentytwentyhindsight.com/">this blogger</a>. The endgame is self-evident: highlighting and/or objectifying the voices behind the radio news network and one of America's perennial liberal lifestyle punching bags. And it works! </p>
<p>For example:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://babesofnpr.tumblr.com/post/16586491261/ben-calhoun-producer-this-american-life-looks">Ben Calhoun</a>, Producer, This American Life, looks like the neighbor you watch doing dude yoga through the window while you smoke American Spirits and read The New Yorker on your porch. HOT.</p></blockquote>

<p>Either way, for people who spend far too much time wondering and/or fantasizing about the faces behind the voices coming in over their radio/streaming radio/podcast/whatever else people listen to NPR on these days, however, your time has come. <a href="http://babesofnpr.tumblr.com/">Go to town.</a></p>
