GAO adds ‘Watchdog’ podcasts
The federal government’s top watchdog agency, the Government Accountability Office, has added regular podcasts as part of its outreach strategy. From its press release today:
“GAO is always considering new ways to make its findings and products accessible to a wide range of audiences through various media,” said Gene L. Dodaro, Acting Comptroller General of the United States and head of the GAO. “Podcasting enhances the service GAO provides to Congress and the public by offering an alternative means for people to learn about significant issues and new GAO reports and testimonies.”
The podcasts are available as an RSS feed, so you can add them to your favorite reader program like Google Reader. They’re also available on the iTunes store.
Right now, there’s five podcasts available, dealing with subjects as varied as the federal stimulus package, NASA and the Census.
If you’d rather read the transcripts of each podcast, they’re also available if you click on the associated report that accompanies the podcast. For example, here’s the transcript for the stimulus podcast.
