Dude, where's my car 1'00
Dude, where's my car is a humorous PSA created for Brooklyn College radio written and produced by Lizzy McGlynn herself and starring poet Shafer Hall as the voice of the narrator. It's a good one.

Schoolhouse Rox 6'08
Schoolhouse Rox is Lizzy's first, and quite rough, attempt at radio production adressing how educational music for children can resurface in adulthood to teach the concepts we missed the first time around. Despite the technical and editiorial flaws, the piece is amusing. Over time, it will be fixed. But for now, here's a taste.

COMING SOON
Relative Perspective
Relative Perspective is a thirty minute radio magazine profiling diverse family relationships.The segments, segued by a narrator, combine to create a comprehensive look at family dynamics as experienced by new mothers, siblings, and cousins. Each segment provides a unique perspective on the bond between family members and serves to expand the way that we normally conceptualize familial ties.

Segment 1
Baby Mama Drama
Many young girls dream of the day they will hold their first child in their arms. But is the reality of new motherhood as blissful as the dream? Through edited interviews, two new mothers will give their perspectives on the topic, comparing their preconceptions of motherhood to their newly discovered realities.

Segment 3
The Pecking Order
Everyone knows that the first child is the high achiever, the baby is the brat, and let's not even talk about "middle child syndrome." But despite the widespread notion that our place in the family is relevant information, research consistently shows that birth order is a poor predictor behavior and personality. This segment will explore the stereotypes people have about birth order and compare them to empirical research on the topic that truly predicts how siblings fare compared to each other. An interview with Dalton Conley, prominent author of The Pecking Order: Which Siblings Succeed and Why, will be integrated with interviews with three siblings to show that the lay person's misinterpretation of sibling relationships may not have empirical support, but when consensus is so high, such stereotypes are often self fulfilling.
