Thanksgiving Traditions
as heard on WXXI | November 2006
| |
Announcer introduction: Cooking
shows on television are now focusing on the holidays. All
the scripted talk about family traditions are a bit much
for commentator Jennifer Loviglio. She approaches holiday
cooking differently. |
Hands-on
Winemaking
as heard on WXXI | October 2006
| |
Announcer’s
Introduction: In the fall, at wineries all
over the region, the grape harvest is a busy time. After
joining a wine tasting group, commentator Jennifer Loviglio
volunteered in a winery for a week to learn more about
the trade and about herself. |
Brain, child
as heard on WXXI | September 2006
| |
Announcer introduction: Parents
know life is hard enough without the seemingly constant barrage
of studies showing how to raise intelligent children. Years
ago, when her children were very young, commentator Jennifer
Loviglio wondered when all the reading, classical music and
healthy meals were going to pay off. |
Fear of Flying
as heard on WXXI | August 2006
| |
Announcer introduction: Although
airline carriers are already relaxing the restrictions on
carry-on luggage, traveling light may never be the same.
This affects commentator Jennifer Loviglio more than she’d
like to admit. |
Whose Piano Competition?
as heard on WXXI | June,
2006
| |
Announcer introduction: With
more and more children competiting in everything from televised
spelling bees to pro golf and tennis, increasing numbers
of parents are having to learn how to put their egos on hold.
A recent piano competition tested commentator Jennifer Loviglio's
mettle. |
Indentity
Bereft (2.94 MB)
as heard on WXXI | May,
2006
| |
Announcer’s
Introduction: Stories of identity theft and people
altering their resumes to assume false identities have
been in the news a lot lately. In this climate, commentator
Jennifer Loviglio finds it’s not so easy to just
be herself. |
The "Parents Do Care" Pledge (2.8
MB)
as heard on WXXI | March,
2006
| |
Announcer introduction: Everyone
has ideas about how to teach children the dangers of drugs
and alcohol. The government runs public service announcements
on TV, rec centers invite recovering addicts to speak, and
schools make substance abuse education part of the curriculum.
Sometimes well-meaning programs conflict with parental values
as commentator Jennifer Loviglio recently learned. |
A Special Camp (3.4 MB)
as heard on WXXI | February,
2006
| |
Announcer introduction: Adults
have to teach children nearly everything, including tolerance
and open-mindedness. But sometimes kids learn things the
hard way – or not at all – as commentator Jennifer
Loviglio recalls. |
