I should add that I speak a mile a minute and prefer very fast talkers. If only all my profs could have been former auctioneers!

I'm the same way! I love Vi Hart's videos for this reason--she "speaks" at the right speed!! Lectures are and always have been hard for me because people talk too slowly. I can't watch TED talks. I really prefer to read everything.

I do listen to NPR sometimes, but only if I am doing something else that occupies me at the same time. I would never just sit there and listen to it. Augh! The whole idea makes me itch.
