What do you think of the winners?

Submitted by Theresa Bakker on September 28, 2007 - 12:05pm.

I call them hard working, postive peeps. I'm proud they'll be carrying the PRTQ banner (or at least that big check). Congratulations to all three. And kudos to the finalist ten. You put yourselves out there with witty blog entries, funny photos, cool videos and colorful comments - enduring public scrutiny and even some hard feelings from the 1400. I had a blast watching you. Hope to see (and hear) more soon.

And not just of the contest! I hear the promise of three good new shows out of this. That makes us all winners! (Oh, dang. There he goes again.) Congratulations to all three.

You're a sackful of bright pennies and I love you all. Now drink those turkeys at Launch under the table. Come home with your shields or on 'em!

Really, these guys-n-gal did solid, solid work and I´m just happy to have gotten a chance to hang with the likes of them. So looking forward to listening to their shows. Congratulations Al, Glynn and Rebecca. I´ll buy y´all a beer when I get back to the US.

You all played hard. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

That being said, I am ecstatic, Al, that you made it to the top 3!

A variety show emerged here, and I'll miss the voices and ideas.

I would like to hear a monthly hour-long show with each of the 10 contestants with 5 minutes.

I'm really glad that Glynn and Al can bring their strong and positive new mixes alive.
But I'm surprised that in my mind's ear I hear April hosting or announcing those strong shows and their hosts. That is, I hear my local host announcing April
who announces and sets up Glynn and Al at separate times.
I hope Chris de Ville and Carrie Kaufman do series of stories, at least essays.
I hope Skepchick can keep it positive when there might be pressure to be otherwise. Congratulations.
and Chuck and Komadi and Bee... I'll be listening for you.

Re: where is everybody... It seemed complicated to get in here. Only the most determined procrastinators like me could get in perhaps? t'would be nice to have audio responses by the winners, i'm expecting applause and speeches, I guess. Will there be any other news here?

NPR has a great selection to chose from.. Let's hope that "ALL 3" get shows in the end. Special congrats to Glynn.

(especially Rebecca who was one of the only finalists I had discovered independently in round one - I think you and your concept rock).

I hope you all have a great time putting together your pilot and taking it to the streets. Good luck, and good night.

Roll up ladies and gentlemen and enjoy the last chance to listen to a losing entry....

To Rebecca, Al, and Glynn. Be prepared for the time of your life, now the show really begins.

As for April and Chris, you made it this far and it will still continue albeit in a different situation and the both will have great futures.

Thank goodness Glynn is in there. A Grand Rapids Michigan born voice for the masses! Sorry, I am biased, ya know.

Big Fat Congrats to all three!

Sweet dreams to all you PRX'rs...

Until Again, -W.
