If Bryant Park Project taught NPR anything, it's that listeners like blogs. Especially young people. We love those blogs. We like to read and comment and enjoy the dinner party credibility boost of saying, "I heard on NPR..." -- just like adults!
In that sprit, NPR has launched two new blogs. The first is a pop culture blog (ugh - pop culture! how unsophisticated. oh wait, I secretly love the stuff). Linda Holmes is a very clever attorney-turned-MSNBC.com blogger. I was entertained by the venn diagram explaining the name of her new blog for NPR, Monkey See. Also, her dire warning against Rainn Wilson's new movie was greatly appreciated. While it's clear she's never watched an episode of Gilmore Girls, I'll definitely be adding her to my RSS reader.
The second new blog is from Rob Sachs, host of one of my favorite alt.NPR shows What Would Rob Do?. Rob's funny, honest and completely irreverent. I could go for more Rob in my day. While the first few posts haven't been stellar, I'm holding out hope. Rob Sachs is NPR's moral compass and I know he won't let us down. Let the pithy, NPR-worthy comments begin!
