_mg_3537_small

Christina and her partner Ellie want a baby, and together they decide to find a donor through one of the largest sperm banks in the country: the California Cryobank.

 

Christina describes the daunting task of narrowing down the traits she wanted for her child, while a representative of the California Cryobank talks about the programs they designed to make that process easier for their clients. One particular program, where clients can choose a donor that looks like their favorite male celebrity, has become extremely popular.

The piece features interviews with Christina and her infant son, Oscar, as well as Scott Brown of the California Cryobank. The narration was provided by Matt Larson.

The Mikie Show #6 Skylar

From Michael Carroll | Part of the The Mikie Show series | 28:13

A very interesting discussion with Skylar Kahn, certified master grapho-analyst and forensic document examiner. In other words, a handwriting analyst. Very revealing. Also, Señor Glow has a problem, maybe we can help. There's so much more!

Balloons_small Ever wonder about how forensic document examiners ply their trade? How about personality traits? It's all hidden in our handwriting and Skylar helps enlighten us. We even do an on air real time analysis of my handwriting! Plaus all the usual fun stuff. Thanks for tuning in!
