Customer Reviews
A Great Show!
The Brick in the Wall Podcast is interesting, informative and offers great opinions from an educational point of view! I recommend taking a listen!
Great podcast that keeps me sane!
Thank you! Just thank you, for your honesty and openness. As a school leader, it’s fabulous to hear my own thoughts and feelings being discussed by others in the same position but with a much needed humorous twist. Please keep them coming!
The Brick In The Wall
A great podcast that takes a hilarious look at all things educational. There is always something to take away from the episodes and the banter between the Bawler and Pud is funny to listen to. Highly recommend!
