    Episode 89: Who Should Create Study plans?

    For some of our podcast episodes, we are going to read blog posts, audiobook style. This allows listeners to access the written material from the blog in audio form, which we imagine may help some who don’t have much time for reading (but DO have time to listen in the car). It also allows us to bring some of our most interesting, important, and/or popular posts back into the spotlight. Today’s episode is our first of this type! In Episode 89, Carolina reads her blog post Who should Create Study Plans?
