Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams explores the one song that changed the use and capacity of a Public Service Announcement (PSA). Tune in to hear Cynthia explore how the Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) landed famed-Canadian feminist singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan and her hit song, Angel. Cynthia details the record-setting amount raised by the PSA effort in 2008 and 2009, and explores the tactics that raised visibility, yet invited discord.

Note: In 2023, McLachlan publicly called the visuals of neglected and abused animals "difficult to watch."
