I have been told that people like my name which is Laura Shine. I chose this name but there is a twist to how I chose it. This is revealed in the entry I am submitting and also I hope you will find my voice and personality radio friendly and see my potential as your next Public Radio Idol!

Great job. Loved the voice, the story, the way the two minutes was filled but not stuffed, the way I got to know something about you in merely two minutes, but also connected to the broader ideas of identity. You used humor effectively. Good luck!

I agree with all previous comments...Laura is something special. She's a natural. I love her ability to let you into her world without sounding false. Anyone who listens feels like they've made a friend. Great sense of humor too! I also know she's very inquisitive which also enhances her "hostiness".

I think you have a GREAT entry. Your voice is easy going, and your story is funny without being forced. I think you have an EXCELLENT radio personality, and I even dig your name. :-)

Dear Laura, Great piece! And another one of those hidden gems, where somehow or another no one has left a comment for you. Very well written, very funny, and you have a nice hostiness about you. Laura Shine by any name could be a new NPR host. Jill

Hi Jill, no I haven't sent this around to my 5000 friends for votes or comments like maybe I should. I'm a little modest that way but it sure makes for a great surprise when someone like you, a complete stranger, votes and leaves a comment like that. Means a lot! Btw, I don't really have 5000 friends. I actually added the zeros! Thanks again, Laura

Dear Laura, Just so glad that I was able to shine a little light on your entry! Jill
