March Madness: Brackets make public radio shows get cutthroat

Here at KPCC, we're public radio fans too. So we could feel included in the March Madness too, we built a little public radio bracket pitting our favorite shows against one another. Little did we know it would lead to all-out Twitter war.

  1. Whose side are you on? DAVID or GOLIATH? If you said "Goliath" then definitely vote for @NPRFreshAir! scpr.org/news/2013/03/1…
  2. Without your help, we will never defeat the evil empire of @NPRFreshAir in this meaningless contest! VOTE NOW! scpr.org/news/2013/03/1…
  3. I think our new strategy is to lull @NPRFreshAir to sleep, then stab them where they lay. We may not be able to win a fair fight.
  4. Hey, @nprfreshair fans, did u hear what @SplendidTable said about you? It's enough to make you go vote for Off-Ramp! scpr.org/blogs/offramp/…
  5. More March Madness trashtalk. @SplendidTable uses CANNED veal stock. Hard to believe. bit.ly/11a9tYy
  6. And Lynne preferred the Julie half of "Julie & Julia." So sad. bit.ly/11a9tYy @SplendidTable, so sad.
  7. So @KPCC, there'll be some sort of trophy if #CAreport wins this, right? Or do we just get 'Downton Abbey' on DVD? ow.ly/jbC5n
