 Contest #20: Name Our Podcast | Results!Posted 04.27.2006 by Dave (11451)
Contest Results.
There's a lot riding on a name. The very name of this site, for example, was the result of a deliberate thought process; some venerated scholars believe the name makes all the difference in the simultaneously intellectual and ribald appeal of the site. So when choosing a name for our forthcoming PoopReport podcast, we knew that it had to be an inspired choice, communicating the fact that it's an extension of the PoopReport.com ethics and philosophy into the realm of audio entertainment.
We received lots of good ideas -- more good ideas than I could have ever hoped for, in fact. I was pleasantly surprised. From the ninety-odd submissions, Jeff and I narrowed it down to a few favorites:
From these, we had to immediately eliminate the Scat-o-caster -- though we really liked it, "scat" has too many fetish connotations. We don't want to attract the wrong kind of listeners. So, after a few days talking amongst ourselves and our friends, we found ourselves leaning towards "Porta-Poddy." As my wife said about it, "Porta-poddy. You're putting PoopReport on a podcast. Podcasts for downloading onto ipods, which are portable. It's perfect." And it was perfect. Until Jeff had his inspiration: "This Stall Occupied -- it has a more "highbrow" sound to it. Though, maybe "This Occupied Stall" makes it sound more NPR-ish? HA!" More NPR-ish. That, my friends, is the hallmark of a good poop podcast. After further deliberation and comprehensive focus group testing, that's where we've ended up: This Occupied Stall. Credit for the name will go to Logjam. Congratulations. Logjam, you are the ultimate PoopReporter -- you appear once every couple weeks, first to create the name of our new podcast, and then to write one of the best poop reports this site has ever seen. I look forward to your next appearance -- you'll probably have secured VC funding for us or something. It was a tough decision to forgo a name like "Porta-Poddy." But ultimately we believe that our chosen name has legs. It is a classy name, and it has staying power. It lends itself to a regal manner that makes the poop stories contained therein that much funnier. I think it's a good decision; I hope you all do, too. We have only a few more weeks of prep before the podcast launches, so there's still time for more user input. Besides stories from the archives, Dear Annus, and user emails and so on, what else would you like to see in the podcast? Also, any designers out there are welcome to submit ideas for a logo. Congratulations again, Logjam. Enjoy your lovely PoopReport t-shirt. Post new comment
