Since tomorrow is the last day that the BPP will be broadcasting, I wanted to do something special for the awesome people who make the show.
All week, they’ve had a hilarious, heartbreaking series of their regular feature “Best Song in the World Today” focused on the five stages of grief (those would be denial, anger, […]
It’s kind of funny, sometimes, how you can see something mentioned a million times before deciding to pay it any attention, even though it’s something that calls you by name.
Bryant Park Project listener Daniel O’Toole has a can of Gargoyles Spaghetti-Os that’s been sitting on his shelf for God only knows how long a great […]
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 […]
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.
You see, Kerry works in New […]
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while. It pains me to say this, because - really - I love them, but I think My Morning Jacket is overrated
Not that they’re bad. But I just bought the new record, “Evil Urges,” and - well - it’s not bad, but I’m beginning to think that […]
Scott McDowell from WFMU sent us a link to this posting on WNYC’s jobs listings. I am not qualified. I am applying anyway.
Even though I lack the 10+ years of full-time experience the job requires, and my degree is in creative writing with a poetry focus (not in music composition like they require), […]
As many of you no doubt noticed over the course of April, Matthew is a big poetry-loving dork. He did a fun weekly series of posts on poetry featured on Writer’s Almanac. A few of you know that I’m kind of a little poetry dork.
Though both of us adore poetry, his is usually relevant and […]
Over on my personal Twitter stream, I’ve set up Twitterfeed to run the RSS feed from my Last.fm profile. It finally started working today, as I was listening to podcasts.
From Beckyrother’s reply on up, all these tweets owe their existence to this last episode of “Radio Lab” that came through the feed. There’s a lot […]
Apparently people have been saying that while I’m the friendly one, Kerry’s the fun one.
Kerry’s friendly, too. She just has all the snark.
Sorry I’m, you know, boring.
If I am Morning Edition, she is The Bryant Park Project.
If she is Morning Becomes Eclectic, I am Performance Today.
If I am Weekend Edition, She is Weekend […]

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 […]
