Few things are more identified with teen culture than instant messaging, an Internet service that enables you to create a kind of private chat room with another individual, like a telephone conversation but using text-based, not voice-based, communication.
And NOTHING is more identified with instant messaging then the term “WTF”. Want to know more?

How can one word’s definition include lines of NASA computer code AND lines from one of the most quoted speeches in American History?!? You’ll find out in the following show…
Kingpin: For truckers, the “pin around which a steer axle’s wheels pivot”, for bowlers, “the pin which must be struck at a specific angle if all the pins are to be knocked down”. And for youth? Well that’s just what you’re going to hear about in this hour that includes an interview with Steve Squyres, the man behind the Mars Rover!
Voice of Youth – September 14, 2006

What do write Toni Morrison, rapper Eminem, artist MC Escher, and founding father John Adams have in common?
They are all the inspirations for our newly renovated weekly show.
In fact, this first show out of the gate could have a sub-heading that reads: these are a few of our favorite things.
Our show’s goal every week is to be a comprehensive definition of a certain word or phrase, a definition that shows the spectrum of teens for whom the word or phrase has meaning.
And this week’s phrase? Voice of Youth
The past three weeks, the hosts of the weekly show, Greg Shimada, Amanda Wells, and Laquoia Simmons have been focused on rehauling this model, re-defining the mechanics of the process and the aesthetics of the product they want to achieve for their weekly show.
Each member of the team had to think of what they loved in the world, what thing or person or phenomenon they are drawn to and want to emulate in some way here at Voice of Youth.
In face, the exercise of defining who they were as a production team mirrored the exercise of every show.
And so in this definition of Voice of Youth, you will be treated to a sample of what’s been inspiration to the hosts and what that means for the radio you will be hearing every week at this time.
