See NPR?! This is funny. This is personality. This is alive whereas so much of NPR is dry and dull. This could have been the future of National Public Radio.

It's stuff like this that makes me cry to see you go!! I'm a NPR junkie but lately I'm getting tired of a lot of the shows. BBP was a refreshing change.

I am truly saddened that my morning ride to work will be without your uplifting show. NPR is making a huge mistake I wish evryone good luck and I wish myself something to bring a smile to my face like your show always did.

Ahh, the rundown. I think I'm going to miss you most of all, scarecrow.

This really hits it home that my dream of a recurring segment where BPP staffers and listeners challenge Tricia to increasingly wacky contests will never happen.

Thanks to you all for filling my workdays with wit and intelligence the last few months. It won't be the same from here on out without you.

BPP better by far than ordinary NPR

In the early 90's when I was in high school, we watched Channel 1 news every morning in homeroom. Allison Stewart was an anchor for Channel 1, and I absolutely loved her. She was so real and relatable. Last year, I got Sirius satelite radio, and decided to check out NPR. The first day I turned it on, it was the BPP, and Allison was talking. I thought, "Boy, that sounds like Allison Stewart"...and of course, it was. How psyched was I...I kept listening and now I am totally addicted. The BPP gives me news stories I actually want to hear, and talk about. It has educated me, made me laugh, made me cry. I am devastated that it will be ending...my morning commute is definately going to suck...

How sad. I'm outside the target "younger" audience by a margin, but came to rely on your up-beat but news-containing show. Loved the music and the ramble.

Wow. I've been on the road and off-line, so I didn't get the news until now...this is definitely sad.

Thanks for producing a great show! It's obvious from the 500+ comments on the blog that your show has had an impact. It's smart and funny and will definitely be missed.

It's a reference to "Kids In The Hall"

Why don't you guys quit whining and get your unemployment paperwork filed? God, July 25 can't come soon enough.

Matt,

I think it would've been better to tell Tricia that you don't like her via the New York Times. That would've been much more classy...

You are a savage. Your honesty resonates from coast to coast.

Thank you.

I LOVE BPP. Columbus Ohio's radio report news two days after BPP. When I tell people I love NPR's BPP, they always assume I'm listening to a monotone radio show. Which is the complete opposite of BPP.

Sent by Mollie | 8:15 AM ET | 07-15-2008

Et tu, Brute? Geesh how sad is this. I thought i had found a great, geeky-hip place to hang out. The BPP made my brain work, engaged my emotions on an intellectual level, and made me freekin laugh. I wish i could win the lottery, and fund the program.

So this is a little off topic, but I've just GOT to clarify this - did Mike quote J.J. FAD this morning during the beginning of the show?? I could have SWORN I heard him say "P is for perfection 'cause you know that we are freaks" - and let me tell you, that made my WHOLE DAY perfection! =0)

See now, this is why I just can't bear to let the BPP go...some one please let Mike know that his one little remark put a smile on my face for the whole day long!

Man. I'm going to go listen to Playboy bunnies interview their dogs on Sirius now because my hopes for decent shows are completely trashed . Thanks loads, NPR. Tricia...don't listen to them. You are awesome.
