Sex Talk with Phyllis Levy
The part of Canada I grew up in (mentioned in a post from February) was pretty remote. Dealing with my sexuality in such a setting was awful in the 1980s, and I'm sure it's not much easier now. But in 1986 (when I was 16), I had a voice coming through my radio that gave me hope and made me feel slightly less alone.
That voice belonged to Phyllis Levy, who hosted a show on WLS 890 out of Chicago called Sex Talk.
I could receive WLS fairly reliably at night, despite the fact that Chicago was about 1050 km / 650 miles away (SSE, as the crow flies). It was AM radio, and I would keep it on low volume in my room.
Phyllis Levy had the kindest voice, and a great sense of humour. I remember laughing when, discussing penile desensitization (from excessive friction), she exclaimed, "omigod, you guys! Be careful out there!"
I would give anything to hear her voice again. I wasn't able to Google up much on her... so Phyllis, this one's for you.

(It seems preferable to be snatchy/biting/funny if I take the clue from your commenters, but I'm too sentimental, or just bad at being snatchy/biting/funny.)
