This is great information for parents in particular, but also for anyone, really. The topic of the first episode is Earphones and Awareness. Since I use earphones a lot, I listened with interest. The advice was sensible: don't use them when they'd prevent you from hearing things you need to hear for your own safety (or the safety of others).

The presentation could be a little more relaxed. It sounds as though it's being read aloud from a script. Though the script is well-written, I think it would be easier to listen to if the speaker were talking spontaneously from notes. As it is now, I can't quite imagine kids or teens listening to it.

It would be really fantastic if it were presented as a video, with young people narrating and acting out examples, a la the Midwest Teen Sex Show.
