The other voices you hear during Jeff’s review of “The Sapphires” are Dan Mecca and Raffi Asdourian (both of The Film Stage), who were hanging out with us during that episode.

To get a taste of Dodgers announcer Red Barber’s classic old-timey radio voice, check out this recording of a 1950 game. Start at about 6:30. At 8:30, he does an ad for Post Sugar Crisp (“There’s three little honey bears on the front!”).
