It’s an uphill battle explaining that Kerry and I aren’t the Radio Sweethearts mentioned above. Those Sweethearts are Bob Garfield, Brooke Gladstone, and The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name.
That said, we’ve grown to love the title. Okay, we’re sweethearts. Okay, we run a blog about the radio. It may as well be us.
But […]
Dear Brooke and Bob -
Hey, y’all. How’s it going?
I’m doing alright. I’m sitting in my kitchen, baking some cookies and listening to the most recent episode of your show.
Brooke, Bob, I hate to say this, but I feel like we’re growing apart. It’s not that you’re not doing a great job - you are. The […]

Thank God someone finally got Bob to put his shirt back on.
Throughout the duration of the contest to design “On the Media’s” first T-shirt, Bob says he’s hosted the show topless (which, ew).
It’s to the credit of Cincinnati, Ohio’s Phil Mastman that he entered the contest, with a design prominently featuring our favorite weekly bit […]
I have to start this week’s recap with a bit of a spoiler, because I don’t want your OTM listening experience to be tainted by the surprise revealed at the end of the episode. According to Brooke, for the length of the T-shirt design contest, Bob is making good on his promise to host the […]

It’s plenty clear that lately, we’ve had other things on our mind, but we’re supposed to be here to prove that Bob Garfield has it bad for Brooke Gladstone.
So, even though I’d rather wear a black armband for “The Bryant Park Project,”it’s time to soldier on, and to find things to tease Bob and […]
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 […]
Because it’s Memorial Day weekend, Brooke Gladstone and Bob Garfield decided to both knock off for the weekend (Brooke probably got Bob all addicted to “Grand Theft Auto IV”).
Instead of the usual commentary on the current state of the media, they offered up a rebroadcast of “The Book Episode” from last October.
The basic concept here […]
I just want to point out that our 100th post is one of our “On The Media” recaps. It’s been a good run so far. We’ve teased Bob about Brooke, and now that he’s started to listen, the tables have turned. With post #100, it becomes clear that it’s Brooke who needs to come […]
It’s Friday, and you know what that means - Brooke, Bob, and German porn. You’ll wish I was joking by the end of the recap.
First up, a story on military analysts. These are retired members of the armed forces that were coached by the Pentagon and have all sorts of ties to the service that […]

Happy Friday, media nerds!
This week opens with a smattering of debate coverage. Two weeks later, we can all pretty much agree on this one, right? It was boring, and pointless, and the voters of America (as well as the candidates themselves), probably could have done without it. “On the Media” agrees that no one learned […]
