I think you're projecting, or conflating a certain oldschool "public radio" tone in her voice with all the other stuff you seem to associate (quite rightly, I'd reckon) with "public radio". U.S. public radio, that is. You probably don't love Susan Stamberg, either, do ya?
Lynne wrote a really great italian cookbook (also called the Splendid Table, which may be a slightly pretentious name for a radio show but less-so for a cookbook, so there's that) & it's packed full of nerdy definitions & food-historical tidbits & stuff. She's just a wonk in the same way the Car Guys are wonks, albeit in a different milieu (and with a different accent).
What I usually find annoying about her show, if I find it annoying, is the way-too-worshipful tone of some of her callers. But then I hate nearly all call-in radio.
I'm curious: why didn't you nominate a few hours of the execrable "Back Porch Music" (or better yet, the fucking Thistle and Shamrock) for the axe?

Thank god at least it comes on _after_ Wait, Wait, so I can turn off the radio for the rest of the day (can't get XDU this far east, so thanks for Audio Hijack 2...)
