Switching Exercise

Andrea's got some advice for couples: Next time you're having an argument, switch sides.


You're doing a play where they are you and you are them... So, I'm playing the role of John: 'You know Andrea it really frustrates me how your issues with your family and your parents' divorce are affecting our relationship.'

Over the years, Andrea and John have had plenty of disagreements. For example: hair—does it or does it not absorb water? (answer inside.) Through it all, the switching exercise has arguably kept them together. Hear Andrea's sage wisdom in this five-minute musical, youtube-ical radio piece.









Props to the team at alt.NPR's Love and Radio, whose genius production style served as my template. Also props to Efterklang, whose song Tortuous Tracks flavors this piece.
