HBO Offers Full Version of Cautionary Documentary, TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE, as Free Podcast on the iTunes Music Store

NEW YORK, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, HBO releases one of its original documentary films, the cautionary TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE, in its entirety as a free podcast via the iTunes Music Store (www.itunes.com) and HBO.com (www.hbo.com/podcasts). TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE, which offers a guide to the effects of global warming in the United States, is available as of today (downloadable in four parts).

TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE features contributions from leading scientists in the field, including in-depth discussions of such subjects as the greenhouse effect, hurricanes, snowpack, hybrid vehicles and alternative power sources - showing how businesses, local governments and citizens are taking positive actions to reduce global warming emissions.

Over the past century, consumption of carbon dioxide-emitting fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has risen to staggering levels, especially in the United States, where five percent of the world's population is responsible for 25 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE offers a wealth of chilling evidence that the greenhouse effect is intensifying and the Earth is now warming faster than at any other time in human history.

TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE is executive produced by Laurie David; produced by Susan Lester and Joseph Lovett; edited by Tom Haneke; written by Susan Joy Hassol; segment directors, Maryann De Leo and Ellen Goosenberg Kent; segment producers, Vibha Bakshi and Rosemary Sykes; original music by Joel Goodman. For Lovett Productions: executive producer, Joseph Lovett. For HBO: supervising producer, Jacqueline Glover; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.

This newest podcast joins the wealth of existing HBO podcasts on iTunes and HBO.com, including video and audio clips for "Entourage," "Deadwood," "Lucky Louie," "Dane Cook's Tourgasm," "The Sopranos, "Rome," "Big Love," "Real Time with Bill Maher" and select HBO Films, sports shows, HBO Latino's "Habla y Habla," and other HBO documentary films.
