I have a suggestion:

"Chimera Scope"

Chimera, meaning "a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.
2. any similarly grotesque monster having disparate parts, esp. as depicted in decorative art.
3. a horrible or unreal creature of the imagination"

Add "Scope" to indicate that this show will look at the complex, or what others might see as horrible or unusual, in a closer, unflinching way.

- not 'assumptions' but 'facts'
- 'Unexpected' facts
- 'Diverse' facts
- 'Challenging' facts
- 'as a matter of fact' people think . . .

2. Nitty - Gritty
- a program that gets down to the realities or basics of a matter

3. Brass Tacks

- reasoning as above

4. Backbone

- A program with some guts that is not afraid to deal with the unexpected and unconventional.

5. A Maze Thing (Amazing)or a variation of this

- A complex network of paths, issues, voices

"Martin's Cafe" is the perfect name. Within the sensibilities of a "cafe" nothing is assumed. And therefore the "cafe" becomes the symbol of the unknown offering for the day, the time, and the moment. "Martin's Cafe" in my mind would capture the essence of the nothing is assumed motif and concept and also addresses the primary host.

Looking at the description of the up-and-coming show, I thought using the old clich?? (yes, bad start, I know) of a 'melting pot' would be some sort of the right direction. This would speak to the 'perspectives on life in multicultural America.'
