Name This Voters' Education Radio Show!

October 12, 2018 7:33 AM

A few of us in the League of Women Voters are developing a radio show (and podcast), covering issues that are interesting and relevant to voters -- that is, political, legal, and civics issues. We hope to broadcast our first episode very soon, before Election Day. But before we can release anything, we need a snappy title! What should our name be?

Ideally, the title would be something that includes "League" or "Voters."

Also, LWV is nonpartisan -- its mission is supporting voting rights. So pro-voting rights or pro-democracy names are great, but the name shouldn't refer to any specific party or ideology.

The possible names I've come up with so far are:
-- Voters' Viewpoint
-- Ballot Box Brainiac

Please help me brainstorm!

Response by poster: Oh also, to clarify -- the LWV is not only women. Membership is open to all genders, and our chapter membership is mostly women but does have some gender diversity (including some very active men). The audience for this show would hopefully be voters or perspective voters of all genders, too.

Just realized my answer was too gender specific for your purposes. Shame about that ;)

Best answer: Voting Matters
Ready, Set, Vote
It's Your Vote (/It's Our Vote / It's My Vote)
Here We Vote
Let's Go Vote
Ready to Vote
Ready for Election Day
Democracy Represent

Might be fun to think of one with LWV as the initials. These are the ones I thought of, not great but there's gotta be a better one out there.

Best answer: You are entitled to snappy but consider emphasising the nonpartisan nature of your podcast, if possible, because people will assume, given the times, that it is partisan unless you tell them immediately that it is not. Or make sure it has a subtitle. My not fabulous ideas include:

Nonpartisan News for Voters
US Voting News
Worth Knowing: An educational podcast from the League of Women Voters
Before You Vote: News from the League of Women Voters
News for US Voters: An educational podcast from the League of Women Voters
Educated Voters/Voting: : News from the League of Women Voters

This podcast sounds wonderful. Thanks to you and your fellow participants for this incredible service!

Response by poster: The name is (DRUMROLL PLEASE!)...

Voting Matters: a nonpartisan guide to civics and current affairs, brought to you by the League of Women Voters

Thank you for all your thoughtfulness and creativity! I love the name, and there were a lot of serious contenders.
