I love “The Sound of Young America” as a show name, but it has a few problems. It’s kind of long. At first blush, people think it’s a kids’ show, or maybe a fascistic political show, or maybe a Motown show. It may alienate some older listeners, who I don’t think would be alienated by our actual content. It also makes for a crappy URL and a complicated T-shirt.
So what do you think might be a *better* name for The Sound of Young America?
We’re looking for something memorable, meaningful, pithy, maybe clever. Double points if the .org for the name is available, triple if the .org and .com are (you can check with register.com). That’s not a requirement, though. Multiple entries are fine, but try to keep it to a half-dozen or so.
Post your entries below in the comments, or email them directly to me at splangy@splangy.com and I’ll post them here myself. I haven’t decided how we’ll pick the new name, but we will, and the winner will get a big prize that I haven’t thought of yet. I think we will end the “contest” at the end of the month.
