"Radio Sweetheart, Boy Detective, It's The Sound of Young America . Maximum Fun! Maximum Fun!" The Sound of Young America (TSOYA) was recently named "Pick of the Podcasts" by Time Magazine and Salon.com's Audiofile said, " "If you've never heard of TSOYA, then TSOYA is the greatest radio show you've never heard of."

As part of her MFA, Alexis Lloyd created this very cool site, My Washington Square, which gives people a way to share experiences. She calls it an "experience-mapping project," as people can submit stories - or read others or learn about the park's history.

This will probably be the wave of the future - just add Podcasts and videos, and this will become a time capsule.
