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.
