Radio and Features

Liz can be heard weekly with Alternate Take every Thursday night on WDET from 8-10 pm (Eastern Time Zone), and rebroadcast Saturday nights from 10 pm-12 am. Archived shows are available on WDET’s website for two weeks. Listen live on the terrestrial airwaves in Detroit at 101.9 FM, globally online at wdet.org, and on the WDET app.

Having started with freeform radio at WDET in Detroit, then on dublab, and now returning to WDET, Liz Warner (AKA Liz Copeland) often considers the airwaves a bit of a second home, even a state of mind. Music is the message, embracing and sometimes clashing moments of funky jazz excursions with punk rock roadmaps, underground techno-wizardry with far-out space rock and otherworldly, dreamy interludes with past and future pop dance anthems.

Liz has a long history of interviewing both established and emerging artists of many forms – including musical, performance and visual, authors, filmmakers and more – for not only radio but for print and in panels and public forums.

Liz was a resident DJ for dublab, where Alternate Take archived radio shows are available at any time from any device. Below is a selection of some of Liz’s radio shows and audio features as heard on dublab.
