"A" public radio host???? ...how about: "a beloved public radio host sees some national security analyst..."
A public radio host sees me at 6:30 am in my typical dog walking gear of oversized sweats, Uggs and a fleece and decides to call as he passes in his car to mock me for my look.
Give me a few hours.
