On December 30, 2008, National Public Radio's feature "All Things Considered" showcased a story and a song specifically written about the Pymatuning Spillway and the tradition of feeding bread to the ducks, geese, gulls and carp. The song, "Bread in the Water" by Tim Fite is available for download by following the link above.
