Off the Air
After nearly four decades of commentary, interviews and storytelling, Bob hangs up his headset. But because he is not yet technically dead, he gets to write his own radio obituary. Like much of his work, it’s a saga, 1400 hours rolled into 80 minutes — some of it kind of dramatic, and some just plain flabbergasting.

Customer Reviews
Farewell
Just read your latest blog post. You started in radio before I was even born, but I feel blessed to have discovered OTM long enough ago to have your voice play surreptitiously in my head as I read the BP column from here on out.
Thank you for actually explaining what went down with WNYC. Felt very disrespectful to the fanbase to boot you off with no real explanation and then just suddenly have a totally different vibe to the show.
I’m hustling to make enough money to actually support the independent content creators I admire, so hopefully I can subscribe at some point in the near future. Wishing you good health, Bob! Thank you for the thought-provoking commentary over the years. Will miss the audio but looking forward to the weekly blog! 💚
Thank you Bob!
So glad to find Bully Pulpit. OTM was really good, but not the same without you. Great name for the podcast!
Hey deadbeats copping a feel for free
You love Bob. Pony up the $ to keep bully pulpit alive. What’s 50$ over the course of a year for what Bob Garfield gives you? If he’s good enough to listen to Bob is good enough to support.
