Intended Audience: TSoYA is a public radio show and podcast that serves up weekly (for the most part! Sometimes they can fit two in per week) interviews with comedians, writers, musicians... basically, all the cool people you might expect to show up on a youth oriented public radio show. They don't discriminate, however! But with guests like David Cross and They Might Be Giants, they do tend to skew towards a younger crowd.
The majority of the site is focused on comedy, however- besides the interviews, there are several scripted "radio play" type podcasts (there's probably a correct term for this I'm not using... playcasts? Eh, whatever) that manage to bring the funny. Overall, I would say the site is directed towards a younger crowd interested in "alternative" comedy, with the other interviews being kind of a further incentive.
Usefulness of Content: Well, you aren't doing research if you're visiting this site. But it can be quite entertaining and funny! It is, as the home page describes it, "A public radio show about things that are awesome."
Consistency of Design: Check. The grey background and black text work relatively well together, and the navigation bar at the top of the screen stays in place to help you get around. Even the forums look similar to the rest of the site, which isn't always the case.
Ease of Navigation: Considering the amount of content offered, it is surprisingly easy to get around the site! Past shows are organized by date, however, and there isn't any way to search by guest. That just means you have to browse a bit more, so it isn't too much trouble.
