I know a lot of folks in the MaxFun audience are podcasters, so we've put together a few promos that you can run in your podcasts to help introduce people to The Sound of Young America.

They are totally free to use (obviously), and you can just drop them in your commercial break, or at the end of your show, or even after a brief endorsement :).

When this post slips into the past, you can always find the promos by going to the Sound of Young America page and clicking "More About The Sound of Young America."
