Learning English Podcast - Young Artist, 'Greenhouse' Gas, Home Visiting

Dan Novak and Ashley Thompson host today's Learning English show.

First: Ghanaian Ace-Liam Ankrah is a record-setting artist at the ripe-old age of almost two! With the support of his mother, the little one began painting at 6 months old. As Jill Robbins reports, the Guinness Book of World Records recently named him the youngest male artist on the planet.

Then: Very small organisms that live in the world’s farm fields release nitrous oxide gas. Now, some researchers think they have found bacteria that can help reduce the amount of nitrous oxide released. John Russell has the story.

Next: The LE Education Report. Education officials in the United States aim to support American families with early learning and development programs, like home visiting. The programs are designed to provide some early education at no cost to parents. Dan Novak presents today's report. Then, Ashley and Dan chat about today's report. Ashley wonders how the home visiting programs differ from childcare services.

Finally: It is time for LE's Lesson of the Day. John Russell bases his instruction on a report from Dan Friedell. Dan tells about some common technology that might pose a security risk to your automobile. Listen carefully for the word "thieves." John tells all about it after the report.

Dan and Ashley close the show.
