The Wooden Spoon
Four high-achieving students redefine what it means to be successful beyond the books. Traditionally, a wooden spoon is given to the person who comes last in a race. Instead of lingering on the failure of coming last, that same wooden spoon can be put to work and become something useful. The Wooden Spoon is a podcast about success, but more importantly, what success really looks like after you finish school and take on the real world. It's no longer defined by a grade - it's about living a successful life that is unique to you.

fantastic - just one feedback xo

ok, so i’ve just spent a good few minutes scrolling through some of the reviews and thinking about them a little bit - as you do! in my opinion, this is an excellent, well-constructed and really relevant podcast. perhaps some of the content and things said were a bit self indulgent, but i think that altogether these personalities match brilliantly. how dull would this podcast have been if they all fit together perfectly? the reason this podcast is so interesting to listen to is due to the range of people and personalities that host it. and a lot of the reviews have mentioned that you are too young to talk about failure. i think that’s rubbish. if anyone has experienced failure, or felt like a failure in their life before, they are one hundred percent entitled to be able to talk about that and discuss it to help others. the only feedback i’d give is maybe being slightly more concise - letting your personality shine through, but not being overly self indulgent and talking about SO many personal experiences that the listener gets a bit overwhelmed! loved it overall xxx
Okay if you are young and still in full-time education

This podcast is okay - I think I would’ve got more out of it if I were still at school. Eve and Jack definitely stand out as having more life experience and wisdom as uni/post-uni students, and I enjoyed hearing their points of view. Jade and especially Ruby seem very rooted in the school system and experience, which didn’t interest me personally. I feel that Ruby would make a great teacher as she is clearly passionate about education, but doesn’t seem to think outside of that bubble! She and Jade have incredibly bureaucratic perspectives, yet possess an inflated sense of self-importance and intelligence. They also seem afflicted by the view that anything they say is radical and original, when in actuality they are basing their ideas off of very simple philosophies that already exist. More Jack and Eve, less Jade and Ruby please! The former are far more relatable and interesting.
Loved listening to Eve, the others were just surplus

In the nicest way possible, Eve being the only one who wasn’t a straight A*, oxbridge potential student, makes her the only person on this podcast who says things that are relatable to the wider studying community. I echo the thoughts of other people on here that a conversation between just Jack and Eve would have been much more interesting than with the other two (who are lovely girls, just not as relatable and insightful, being very new to University and incredibly privileged in their education.
5stars from me
