Coming Up on Oklahoma Voices
 Monday, July 28 on Oklahoma Voices, KGOU News Director Scott Gurian speaks with two Norman filmmakers making a documentary about the guys who model for the covers of romance novels! And coming up in August during the Beijing Olympics, we’ll hear from a variety of Oklahomans with firsthand knowledge of modern-day China: its people, its government, its media and how the influence of Western consumer culture has brought changes in recent years. Oklahoma Voices airs each Monday at 11 a.m. on KGOU.
The one-year CPB grants will support research and development for the winning series concepts so their producers can refine the sound, hire advisory teams and develop websites and distribution strategies.

NPR Cancels The Bryant Park Project
National Public Radio has announced that it is canceling its experimental morning program, The Bryant Park Project, or BPP for short.  The program has never been carried on KGOU, but it has a sizeable online listenership, close to one million people – not enough, however, to continue. The New York Times published an article about the show and the cancellation.
The final program will be posted this Friday, July 25, and the BPP staff is dealing with this loss by exploring musically the stages of grief – so far, they've tackled denial and anger. Fans of the show can also vent their feelings on the BPP blog.

Walk the mean streets of cities from Boston to L.A. with top crime novelists who know every dark alleyway. The writers share secrets of the cities they write about and behind-the-crime-scene stories about their work.
