Ilana and I have found ourselves in the car quite often around 5 p.m. and as we putter about in the very mild Melbourne traffic, we surf around the radio stations. There are a lot of stations in Melbourne that identify themselves by "triples" - Triple R, or Triple J, Triple M and so on. They're not bad, but what has really caught my attention is on another station - SYN. It's an hour-long music and talk show called "Objection" that apparently is being hosted by a group of high school girls. Believe it or not, it is actually a lot of fun to listen to. Yes, it's sophomoric, but that's the point. Today, I got on the Internet and tracked down the story behind this station. SYN stands for the Student Youth Network. The Student Youth Network broadcasts radio programming with powerful transmitters that cover some of Australia's largest markets. They also have an Internet presence and deliver television programming. It's impressive, inspiring and entertaining. Nothing like it exists in the United States, to my knowledge, and that's a shame. It has become one of my SYN-ful pleasures here.
