Gen-Z Launches ‘Pants on Fire’, ‘The Mayan Crystal’ and ‘Six Minutes’
Our new partner Gen-Z Media, a kids and family podcast company, launched three new, high-concept shows today: Pants on Fire, The Mayan Crystal and Six Minutes. Aimed at kids between ages 6 and 12 and their parents, the shows transport listeners into thrilling adventures, ambitious mysteries and addictive fun.
Pants on Fire is a game show that makes it fun for kids (and adults) to test how good they are — or aren’t — at figuring out who’s lying. The Mayan Crystal tells the story of an 11-year-old girl who tries to summon legendary Mayan gods but accidentally ends up awakening an ancient evil. And Six Minutes centers around a girl who has no memories of who she is, developing mysterious powers and uncovering more about herself in each six-minute episode.

Pants on Fire
A hilarious new game show where kids meet two “experts” in kid-friendly topics like “sharks” or “pizza” or “space travel” — except only one is the real McCoy. The other is a “liar-liar-pants-on-fire” determined to fool the young contestant. Can a perceptive kid find the truth and determine who’s who? Test your own skills, and play along weekly!
Episode 1: Sound
Amaya and Deborah try to figure out who’s lying about sound. Plus, L.I.S.A. knows way more than the experts.
In future episodes of Pants on Fire, Deborah and a kid contestant try to figure out who’s lying about martial arts, primates and hypnosis. Plus, L.I.S.A. gets huge in Japan, goes to zoo camp and wants an omelette.
