A Unique Sound
What Intrigues YOU?
Jones Franzel sent me an email the other day; she wrote: "Wanted to send you this review of YouthCast on the Sound of Young America..." I decided to check it out. It's a post "Podthoughts" by Colin Marshall about podcasts offered on alt.NPR. In the post, Colin talks about YouthCast. Here's a quote: The neat thing is that the pieces are made by high-school- or college-age producers. The less neat thing is that I once again find myself having to break out the term "This American Life-y", which I apply to a regrettably high number of shows.
That made me think...how can we differentiate our style? I have much respect for Ira Glass, but I'm also an advocate for uniqueness. So, what do you think about our podcasts?
Please feel free to share your "Podthoughts!"
