[sirhugs]

I mainly just want to see what Carney can do with this title .

(and would love to read some new Carney drivel)

If 'radio' is someones nickname then it could easily become "A face for radio to sit on"

Archibald Face gets a job as a radio DJ. In the words of Frank Zappa "none of the jocks can tell I'm a homo"

Or you could go all Hypoxia with it and flip it to "A radio for a face". Someone is in a horrific car accident in a remote location. They're in such a bad way that the locals take them to the local mad scientist (MS) instead of the hospital a million miles away. He saves their life with whatever's lying about, most notably an old AM radio.
It automatically lends itself to a sequel 'My sister the transistor'.

Can't omit the tentacles, can we? But I digress.

Traditionally, "a face for radio" implies features unfit for TV. Let's make our MC an intelligent presenter (any gender) who wears masks when on-camera lest the lens break or the audience vomit. Not the same mask every day, but an ever-changing range of flamboyant or acerbic oddities -- clowns, monsters, celebs, robots, etc. The only constant is a voice changer producing a neutral mid-range tone.

How to make this erotic? Their only sex is with the blind, instructed never to touch MC's face. Is the MC kinky as shit? Or an ET alien? Is the MC the same 'person' every day, or a disguised rotating member of a collective troupe, not hideous, merely pranking? That could lead to some weird Group Sex tales.

Maybe she/he is really unattractive and misses a partner. She/he starts a podcast/radio show where people literally describe their sexual fantasies. One thing leads to another, and more and more callers describe how they perform sexual actions on the presenter, and he/she responds. Maybe they buy him/her sex toys?

The show becomes popular. Everyone talks about them, and pictures the Attractive Moderator / Presenter, who sits right next to them, but is not noticed because he/she is not attractive enough.

There have been a few real life cases where the voice made you melt but the face made you hurl.

There's also the rarely-heard second half of the phrase:

"A face for radio.... and a voice for the newspapers!"

You rang?????

I don't have time to write this, being deeply immersed in tale of depravities both sacred and profane that would grow hair on a cucumber, which I hope to be inflicting on the Lit community in short order; but I will still share my thoughts on this topic in the hopes that someone else may run with it and bring joy to Mudville. Here is my take:

Our Main Character is a beautiful, brilliant young supermodel/pundit/sexpot, who becomes famous as a centerfold, porn actress, and modern philosopher. All men want to have her; all women want to be her. But then, tragedy befalls: she is involved in a horrible accident, and is left horribly disfigured. Nobody can bear to look at her ever again.

Does this deter our heroine? Of course not. She launches a new career as a radio advice commentator, syndicated far and wide; and using her deep understanding of human nature, her erotically sultry voice, and her keen intellect, dispenses sage wisdom to star crossed lovers and other lovelorn miscreants, always building up their hopes and bringing peace to their lives and their relationships. She saves thousands of marriages and families. She wins Nobel Peace Prizes.

Both men and women are still in love with her. Still want to be with her, even though nobody has seen her face in many years. She decides to have a lottery. One lucky winner will get to spend a night of passion with her in person. The build-up to the lottery drawing is ratings gold. Fortunes are made all around. And then, the lucky winner is ready for the fateful meeting with our disfigured but still immensely talented Main Character......

What happens? Are her disfigurements a boner-killer? Or do her other charms conquer all? Does the Lotto Winner fall deeply in love? Does the MC fall in love with the winner? Is the winner blind since birth and immune to the disgust that most people would feel? Is the winner a tentacle monster who finds her scar tissue irresistably erotic? Lots of ways it could go. I will leave the rest in the talented hands of the writer who decides to scoop up this fumbled football and run it to the endzone.

^^^ Aha!! So, you're telling a tale of Heather Marks?

not "a face for radio...a tongue for cunnilingus"?
