Hey! We're in Spirit Magazine

I had no idea until someone messaged me on MySpace, but we're in the current issue of Southwest Airlines' Spirit Magazine, as one of their entertainment picks.

Podcast: The Sound of Young America

THE CONCEPT: Whippersnappers take over public radio.

FRESH AIR: Hosted by 26-year-old Jesse Thorn, the weekly program features interviews with both celebs and relative unknowns from music, TV, and Hollywood. Previous guests include ESPN’s Kenny Mayne and former Colbert Report producer Ben Karlin. The crew also produces several other downloadable podcasts, such as a weekly sketch comedy routine.

NEW THING: Now carried on a dozen public radio stations around the country, The Sound of Young America was the first public radio program west of the Mississippi to podcast. Salon.com declared it “the greatest radio show you’ve never heard” and last year iTunes ranked it a “classic.”
