I was going to post today about two stories from last week, one about “Space Ghosts” (though not of the masked, invisa-belted variety), another about D.C. Drag Queens looking to grieve their beloved nightspot.
But, flipping through our emails alerts from Twitter, about new followers, I noticed that Talk of the Nation was following us.
Which makes […]
This is just a short post to let y’all know about a podcast that I found that you may enjoy. After listening to last week’s episode of “This American Life” (the one about being afraid to go to sleep). Anyway - one of the stories was from The Moth, a storytelling collective. They have an […]

Here are some stories not related to the election or the olympics that you may have missed this week:
- People who don’t really know you on Facebook can’t handle rejection. Neither can your co-workers or ex-girlfriends. And the best part? They all look like Robert DiNiro. (Though, I am inclined to agree with the reporter […]
A couple of years ago, I bought a TV tuner for my computer. I only really use it to watch Nova (and a couple episodes seasons of “America’s Next Top Model”), but I have to confess, it’s been getting more use today. I haven’t even turned the radio on.
I’ve been watching the Olympics.
No, scratch that, […]
Brooke is out again this week, and rather than force Bob to wade lonely through another episode, NPR has brought on a temporary co-host, Carrie Nolan.
Is it just me, or does Brooke seem to be absent a lot lately? Does anyone know where she went? Does she even still exist? Or has Bob just replaced […]
If you’ve been reading or following us on Twitter for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I’m not a huge fan of American Public Media’s “Marketplace.” There are somewhat good reasons - I sucked at economics on both the high school and college level, and it always sounds like Kai Ryssdal is making finger guns […]

Yeah, that’s me as a little kid. Cute, huh? I liked typewriters.
It’s my day to post to R/S, but I can’t come up with anything. I’ve been kinda burnt out when approaching the task of digging up interesting things to talk about or make fun of. So I’m handing it off to the readers. I’m […]

I’m taking a break from my delicious farmer’s market water melon to let y’all know of a few changes that Matthew and I have decided to make to Radio Sweethearts. Actually, it’s just one change - our weekly recaps of “On the Media” will now be posted Monday for the current show (as in, the […]
Did anyone else notice and find it a little weird that Mike Pecsca (formerly of BPP fame) did two stories today, one for “Morning Edition” and one for “All Things Considered”? Also, did anyone think it was a crime that Pesca wasn’t given the Water Polo story?
I mean, I know he works at NPR and […]
I’m partially just testing our system for something Kerry’s working on for tomorrow, but I also really just wanted to continue to hype a band I thank the Bryant Park Project for introducing me to.
This is a really catchy song, and if you’ll watch the video of this band playing the song on the BPP […]
