Module 3 Finding an appropriate Podcast

Podcasts for Public Service Announcements (PSA) come in all forms on the Internet, from the comical podcast on @ll Robot Radio found at http://www.allrobotradio.com/arr/index.php . This site is for robots to use, in their quest to master human language, to the serious government announcements meant to educate and inform.

The most famous of these educators being the American Ad Council. The Ad Council has been producing films and posters and creating their public service announcements since the start of World War II. Some of the most famous became ingrained into daily vocabulary like "Loose Lips Sink Ships" to help in the war effort and enticing women into the factories with "Rosie the Riveter" www.adcouncil.org/psab/.

The Ad Council still works hard at producing quality films on current important topics like 'bullying', 'Internet predators' and the perennial favorite "Smokey the Bear."

I used Google.com to find my podcast using PSA as my keyword.
