Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams explores the one song that changed the use and capacity of a Public Service Announcement (PSA). Tune in to hear host Cynthia Bemis Abrams 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.
