Pro-Life Perspective: The Next Generation

By Derrick Jones

On June 11, National Right to Life began podcasting our daily five-minute radio program, Pro-Life Perspective, via our new web site at www.prolifeperspective.com.

Pro-Life Perspective debuted more than 20 years ago. Since that time, we have aired over 5,800 episodes.

June marks a new chapter for Pro-Life Perspective as we join the world of "podcaster." For those of you unfamiliar with the term "podcasting," you are not alone.

Podcasting is a term born of the increasingly popular iPod music player (Note: you do not need an iPod music player to take advantage of podcasting.)

Podcasting is simply a shorthand way of saying that you will be able to download episodes of Pro-Life Perspective directly to your computer and re-listen to them at your leisure. A secondary advantage is that if you have a digital music player, you can also transfer episodes from your computer to your music player and listen to us on the go.

One of the most important advantages of podcasting is that you can e-mail links to individual episodes to friends and neighbors who might not have heard a particular episode on the radio. This allows you to help spread the pro-life message even further within your communities.

In addition to the podcasts, www.prolifeperspective.com will feature links to resource materials discussed in our program. The new web site will also provide quick links to the wonderful resources available on National Right to Life's web site at www.nrlc.org.

By providing resource links and quick links to nrlc.org, we hope that you will find the information you need to enhance your pro-life work quickly and easily.

Pro-Life Perspective will continue to air daily on Christian radio stations across the country. We are grateful to all of the stations that air Pro-Life Perspective and help us spread the pro-life message. We hope that these enhancements to our program will not only assist grassroots pro-lifers with their work, but will also assist our station partners in expanding their pro-life ministry.

For more than 30 years, National Right to Life has been the premier resource for timely, accurate information on issues facing the pro-life movement. With the debut of www.prolifeperspective.com and our first podcast, we look forward to spreading that information even further.
