#### Episode 17

# For Immediate Release

10 May 2017

“As of today Public Announcement is more than just a podcast. With the launch of our destination homepage we wanted to create a platform for our esteemed colleagues to share the best of the web, in one easy to navigate place.”

“With a clever, brutalist design, and ground breaking Twitter-as-CMS engine, we filter information from all interests into the Public Announcement world.”

—James Ellis & Chris Black
