A person who regularly listens to a certain talk radio program, but until today has never actually called in. You know them when you hear this phrase.
"Hi Ray, this is Megara first time caller longtime listener I'd like to ask the guest if..."

As with talk radio, the claim isn't necessarily true. Trolls often pretend to be newbies in both media.
