Kicked off public radio

October 23, 2017
Grand Moffs of the powerful KTOO Advisory Board and haters of gibbons

You have to give KTOO credit for putting up with us for several dozen episodes, but we have finally been evicted. Two listener complaints, a riveting story in episode 24 labeled as “indefensible” (listen now!), the deeply and grossly offended cabal of the secret Community Advisory Board, and a soiled, burned studio carpet were just too much.

Bridge from Nowhere is like a re-occurring nightmare that scars my very soul. Offensive and disgusting. Also, I hate gibbons.
-Herbert F.

Gibbon haters

But the main reason is that we just don’t fit into the public radio mold, and Bridge from Nowhere is not what the typical, long-time KTOO member wants. We are too different and different can be scary, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar. So in our place you can now enjoy second repeats of A Prairie Home Companion! Despite our parting we still want to thank KTOO for letting us record in the studio and for giving us a chance. Sorry about the carpet.

Bridge from Nowhere will keep on going! Listen anytime right here, or on iTunes and Stitcher.

Also, the papyrus font didn’t help.

Papyrus

September 11, 2017

Damn it, Andy. Stop using Papyrus font. This isn’t a yoga den, Thai fusion restaurant, a weird smelly place that sells candles and bath salts, strip-mall “bistro”, or a cheap Alaskana gift shop.

Lou

021 – Princess Kay of the Milky Way

Jamie describes his vision of a butter sculpture of himself, Lou almost gets lost while fishing from the shore. Andy talks about rats with Patrice Helmar, and the horrible subject of pigeon massacres in Juneau is discussed. Also, Hurricane Irma lashed Andy’s home town and the magic of molasses.

020 – Aaron Neville Caused the Solar Eclipse, and Patrice is a City Mouse

I don’t know much, but I know that “Aaron Neville” caused the solar eclipse using that body pod. We talk to Jamie about his experience with the totality, Patrice Helmar talks about life in the big city, and Lou posits his Aaron Neville theory.

019 – Eclipse, Teletubbies and Patchop

Jamie discusses his trip to the capital of the solar eclipse, Lou becomes a howler monkey, we review the cheapest jeans ever manufactured, and New York photographer Patrice Helmar comes by to talk shop. Also, the central mystery of Teletubbies, wardrobe tips, and a disgusting noise.
