Show Me Your News

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!"

Every week, Youko goes through "The week that was', recounting all the updates on The Dojo website in a detailed and thought out podcast. Each epidsode also inlcuded other segements, usually sent in by other SWF members.

As of September 30, 2007, SMYN is in it's second season, which includes newer segments in place of some of the previous segments.

Segments

The Rundown

Included in every edisode, Youko chooses three of the updates in which he will talk in detail about. In the first part, he'll quickly state his opinon 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.

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 was well recieved.

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.

Hero of Time Overture: Given a preview on September 2, 2007 but aired on September 9, 2007, Youko plays a his own rendition of many different songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on his guitar.
