Show me your News (abbrieviated as SMYN) is a weekly podcast created by SWF member Youko. It was created on July 7, 2007 and was formerly known as The Dojo, but was changed due to confusion with the website Smash Bros. Dojo, also called The Dojo. The new name was named after Youko's main, Captain Falcon and his trademark taunt "Show me your Moves!", and was first coined by Fawriel.
Every Sunday, Youko goes through "The week that was", recounting all the updates on The Dojo website in a detailed and thought out podcast. Each episode also included other segments, usually sent in by other SWF members.
As of September 30, 2007, SMYN is in its second season, which includes newer segments in place of some of the previous segments.
iTunes users can subscribe to the podcast here.

Segments
The Rundown
Included in every episode, Youko chooses three of the updates in which he will talk in detail about. In the first part, he'll quickly state his opinion on those that "didn't make the cut." Then he'll dive into the three main updates of the week, in which he'll state both his own and SWF members' opinions on the updates.
Brawl Viewpoint
Sent in by members of SWF in either audio or text format, this is a chance for the members to try out their own opinion on what SSBB already has or really needs. This is a popular segment, as many members have sent in their opinion on very different matters, from the Subspace Emissary to third-party characters.
Roundtable
Youko and SamuraiPanda discuss recent topics in Brawl in an unscripted, very loosely outlined discussion. The discussion is run through Ventrilo, despite the fact that the two go to the same university and have actually met in-person in order to discuss the segment concept. This is a type of discussion that was lacking in season one of SMYN, but brings a lot of variety to the show in season two.
Mailtime
Debuting on October 7th, 2007, Youko reads questions sent to him from SWF members. These questions can be about anything members wish to ask the host about. After he reads and answers a few questions, Youko will ask a couple questions of the audience to be answered in the thread - this concept, generated by SWF member Somasu, helps the fans learn more about Youko and Youko learn more about the fans.
Previous Segments
Who's In
Once a bi-weekly segment by SWF member Sariku.uchiha, it was cancelled when Season 2 started. In this segment, Sariku would give his personal views on characters other members wanted him to review. Although he was one of the first people to provide a voice to the podcast, he was criticized for providing a more "personal" view and giving reviews that sounded like he didn't study up on the subject, including the infamous "Wolf killed James McCloud." However, his last review, featuring Megaman, Captian Olimar, and Geno, was well received by members of SWF.
The last segment aired on September 23, 2007.
Show Yourself
Once a bi-weekly segment by members of SWF, it was cancelled when Season 2 started. This segment asked for members of SWF to send in audio submissions of them talking about themselves. They could choose what they would talk about. Most members would choose who they mained in Melee and when they started to play Smash, but some would also branch into other fields, like recreational activities.
The last segment aired on September 16, 2007.
Easter Eggs
Easter eggs usually occur at the end of the episode, and have ranged from Youko singing to quizes.
Youko Barbershop Quartet: First aired on July 22, 2007, Youko himself plays multiple parts (not at the same time) of himself singing various renditions of songs from SSBM.
Youko Unplugged: First aired on August 5, 2007, it features a rendition various songs played by Youko on his guitar, his most famous being the Hero of Time Overture.
The Youko Melee Sound Effect Contest: First aired on August 19, 2007, Youko gives five different Melee sound effects that members of SWF can try and guess. Winners are announced in the next episode.
Impressions: First aired on September 16, 2007, Youko does a slew of impressions from different shows and video games.
Pokémon Bottom Ten: An easter egg shown on Youtube that was mentioned during the September 23, 2007 episode.
This easter egg sparked some light controversy over its slightly lewd nature compared to SMYN, which resulted in the Youtube links being taken down from the cast discussion thread.
Youko's Roommate Quote of the Week: First aired on September 23, 2007, Youko's roommate at the University of Michigan gives us a single quote to all SWF members. This quote does not reflect the ideas of Youko himself.
Controversy
Who's In
It all started in Sariku's very first review with King Dedede, stating "King Dedede is just a clone of Kirby...with a hammer." This began the controversy of Sariku not doing any research on the subject and just stating his own opinion instead of the opinions of SWF. After massive critique, Sariku decided to re-review the character, stating that he has an alright chance of appearing. Other such problems came from the Metroid Week, where Sariku said Ridley has a very good chance of being a boss character. He defended himself saying that he said Ridley could be a playable fighter, but that didn't change the fact he formerly presented. The last major critisism came when Sariku said that Wolf O'Donnell may have possibly killed Fox McCloud's dad, James McCloud. However, his last segment was highly praised, due to a more "structured" presentation and actually knowing the facts of each character.
Stating info in audio form
When Youko started posting in the SmashBlog, more people began listening to his podcasts. But instead of enjoying it, they formally stated that Youko is just saying what is on the Smash Bros. Dojo, in audio format. Youko defended himself to those statements, but the whole argument can be found in here.
