Supervising Producer of Narrative Podcasts. This podcast was written by Willa Paskin, who produces Decoder Ring with Katie Shepherd. We’ll hear from Sarah Hubbard, Dan Danger, Joseph Cappella, David Farber, Mike Hawes, Robin Nelson, Daisy Rosario, and Tatiana Peralta. In the second episode of our two-part series on the weird world of PSAs and very special episodes, we look at how the McGruff Smart Kids Album influenced everything from straight-edge hardcore to a couple’s wedding playlist. These messages didn’t always work as intended-but they did work their way into the long term memories of the kids who heard them. McGruff the Crime Dog arrived on the scene at the dawn of the 1980s, just as a firehose of anti-drug PSAs was inundating the youth of America.
