If you scanned the headlines of the New York Times yesterday, you probably learned that NPR is canceling the Bryant Park Project. Now, I have never been a huge huge fan of the show (does anyone remember their failed Sigur Ros interview?), but I also recognize that it takes time for a program and hosts to find their groove. When the last episode airs later this month, they will have only been around for ten months - less than a year. I would've liked to have seen how The Bryant Park Project developed - if only their budget wasn't a whopping $2 million, perhaps we would have found out.
R.I.P.
Though I wasn't a fan either, our friends the Radio Sweethearts were apparently absolutely in love with the show. If you were too and find yourself having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, join their Screw Ferris, Save the Bryant Park Project campaign.
We wish the staff over at BPP the best and hope their talents will get scooped up quickly.
Also, if anyone knows what they spent 2 million dollars on I'd love to know.
slight correction
It's less that we're absolutely in love with the BPP than that we're absolutely in love with the staff and the way they use the internet to build a community. We're absolutely in love with the way they understand how to use the internet to reach their audience.
actually that comment was
actually that comment was more than a little redundant.
