Very sad news for news radio lovers.

[WhipperSnapper]

I am very sad to report that NPR is canceling The Bryant Park Project, which was probably the wittiest and most entertaining news show in their lineup. I like to listen to archived NPR shows via wireless headphones while doing household chores and the BPP was, by far, my favorite show. It will be missed.

Hmmm, never heard of him.

It's only been around since late last year and I found it to be a refreshing breath of fresh air from the more formal, stiff news shows. You can catch the final shows or listen to archives of it here:

I can't be the only P&Ner who listens to the BPP...

Has this guy ever been to Bryant Park? It's smack right in the middle of midtown Manhattan. Surrounded by concrete buildings, stench and noise on all sides and shitting pidgeons above, what better place to think of when wanting something fresh.

Have -you- ever been to Bryant Park? It's one of the nicest in the city.

My fiancee works in the area. Last time I was there eating some cheese fries, pidgeons gathered on the tree branch above me, expecting me to throw some. As they waited, the bastards proceeded to shit, one of which landed on my back. No manners at all. Frankly, I'm surprised people eat and sun bathe in that park. It stinks.

OK...and there you go...the real story of the radio show's namesake...a shitty park! Here's a link to the show's main page for those who are interested about seeing what kind of a show is named after a crappy pigeon-filled park:

Who is this "he?"

Anyways, I listened to the show occasionally and enjoyed it. Stinks to see it go.

And Bryant Park is nice! Go there on Monday nights during the summer and watch the free classic movies!

I never liked anything with "Project" in the title.

Sounds like you're throwing out the park with the pigeonwater!

The worst are dropping-coated store awnings that never get cleaned, and host 7 generations of pigeons. Blech.
