The Sound of Young America in the News

Posted by Maximum Fun on 1st September 2006

Thought I’d offer a little roundup of some of the press the show has gotten over the years… if you’d like to interview me for your media outlet (be it podcast, broadcast, print or online), I’d be happy to help.

Santa Cruz Sentinel Profile (April 2005)
Wallace Baine wrote this piece which I think totally “gets” the show and is really wonderful. A lot of background on the show, with a sort of David & Goliath angle. I understand it made the rounds at NPR.

Salon.com’s Audiofile (11/05)
This is the most laudatory article ever on the show, and it was in Salon! I flipped out when I heard about it.

Time Magazine (6/06)
“Pick of the Podcasts”

Wall Street Journal (7/06)
This piece focuses on our blog, rather than the podcast. A very nice writeup.

Metro Santa Cruz (8/06)
I wrote this one — it’s excerpts from my 12,000 page memoir. Focuses on “The Santa Cruz Years.”

Montreal Mirror (6/06)
A nice little look at the show from Montreal’s alternative paper.

Stay Free! Magazine (5/06)
Joe Garden of The Onion picks TSOYA as an “essential” podcast.

Interview on Small World Podcast
Lots of background and perspective. Basically me running my mouth.

Podcasting Piece in the Santa Cruz Sentinel
Remember when you couldn’t turn around without whacking your nose on an article about podcasting?

Extensive Interview on JustAsLoude.org (6/05)
This is a listener’s blog — a pretty exhaustive review of where the show stood at the time, not to different from where it stands now.

The Philadelphia City Paper (4/06)
A writeup from a Philadelphia comedian and comedy enthusiast.

The Python Clip on DailyLlama (3/06)

Another cool write-up in Salon (3/06)

The New Sincerity hits the Metro Santa Cruz (3/06)

Same sort of deal in the Santa Cruz Good Times

A Mention of the Sound in the Metro Santa Cruz (5/05)

Review of The Sound of Young America in Vox Monitor

We’ve also appeared in a few places that have no or pay-only archives. The San Jose Mercury News… the Monterey Herald… Podcast411. That’s all I can think of, if I’m missing something, I’ll add it here.
