Update: Voting is now closed. See who won!
Previously: First round upsets (see the results for Round 1 at this link). include two KPCC shows taken out by shows with a national fan base: Off-Ramp lost to the Splendid Table, while Take Two lost to On Being. In one of the bigger upsets, the passionate fans of the Moth Radio Hour took down The World, while the storytellers at Snap Judgment took down the partygoers of the Dinner Party.
There was also one particularly close call, with Morning Edition just barely edging out Science Friday — by less than 8 percent of the vote.
Round 2 voting closes Sunday, March 24, at 5 p.m. Pacific time.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
