So I'm working on a segment for the podcast (if it passes mustard) where I scour the EU for people/places/planets/object/events go into small detail about what they are, and then present various plot hooks and idea for use in game. It's pretty fluffy of an idea not tackling actual rule implementation but meant more to inspire GMs to get creative juices flowing.
I've got a couple segments already written up ready to be recorded, I just have a slight problem. I have no idea what to call this. I was thinking a play on MacGuffin, or plot hook. Or something like that.
Any help?
Also is this something you would be interested in hearing? (the concept is kind of hard to explain)

i like the idea of just calling it macguffin and then playing the Macguver music in the background. (yes i know i spell horribly without a spellchecker)
