Live Wire Media Information

We started Live Wire Media more than 30 years ago because we wanted to create entertaining educational media that combines solid curricular materials with humor. It was important to us to make videos that children wanted to watch. With a grant from Nestle Foods, we created the 12-part television series, “The Power of Choice,” which was broadcast nationally on PBS, and is still used in schools across the country. Since then, we have continued to produce award-winning video series for guidance and character education. We created two more series with the host of “The Power of Choice,” well known youth counselor and comedian Michael Pritchard. We’ve worked with Character Counts! to create three video series and a set of interactive software based on the Six Pillars of Character. And, with the help of ventriloquist Randel McGee and a team of talented puppeteers, we created the Popcorn Park Puppets, who currently star in two video series, a storybook, and their own website, PopcornPark.com. On the horizon, there are more videos to come.
