I got rid of Sirius radio just before the show went off air. Having finally gotten a portable device, I went to download a podcast, but lo and behold... the show I had commuted to was gone.
As a librarian, I felt the show was an excellent information resource. Similar to the relation between information and design in print, style and format does wonders for information on the air waves.
The first rule of librarianship is "ask someone who knows." BPP did that without pretense. Unfortunately, most information resources ask "someone who has a stance" or "someone who's an academic, " in which case it's just more yada yada yada.
The combination with asynchronous computer mediated communication was nice too.
And the talent and wit.
It's a shame. Hopefully the sun also rises.
