Well, not single-handedly.
On his blog, Rob Paterson has at least proposed a solution.
In the new world, we work with our “audience” and with our staff. In this new world, the path to economic success is not clear. If it was we would all go there. But intuitively we all know that BPP has a lot […]
The Forget Ferris Project (Save the BPP!) forges on in the face of listlessness, hopelessness, hangovers, and biopsies the nation over.
We got name-dropped on the BPP today. Which would feel good under happier circumstances.
Some clarifications of credit are due: The lovely “Save Ferris” watertower graphic is mine, and is to be shared. We did NOT […]
update: this was “Please Distribute the Love,” but it grows as information is added.
Please repost this story and picture as you please.
The Bryant Park Project has been canceled. This doesn’t make us happy.
Of all NPR programs, the BPP has most actively embraced online media (I hesitate to call it “New Media” anymore; it should be […]
I just got off the phone with Kerry; she’d left in a huff after writing the previous post, full of vitriol and good points.
She took the just-announced cancellation of NPR’s “The Bryant Park Project” personally. I suppose that’s good; it means I didn’t do something horrible right before waking up.

Tonight, we happened upon the new TV version of “Car Talk”, and while I […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done this, and I’ve skipped over talking about the Poetry Magazine podcast, mostly because it’s not funded or distributed through public media channels.
But listening to “Morning Edition” this morning, Kerry and I heard this terrible limerick regarding a judge’s reaction to a lawsuit whose “short and plain” allegations stretched […]
- If you think your living situation is bad, be thankful you’re not one of the guys living in the gym at San Quentin. I heard a preview of this on the way to work this morning and heard the segment on the way home (somehow, it always works like that, and my commute is […]

Sad News Day Two: If the BPP can’t make it, how can the rest of us?
Good morning, everybody.
So yesterday, the Bryant Park Project got canceled. I’m sure you heard about that. If you’re just joining us and are wanting to hurl a few pebbles at the NPR Goliath, go here.
Yesterday morning, I heard that BPP was canceled via their Twitter feed and fired off a rather spiteful post after […]
