Customer Reviews
Great In-Depth Reporting
So many of the education podcasts and education reporting as a whole show a genuine lack of educational standards on educational reporting.
So often, objectivity is tossed out the window and dollops of personal agenda and complaints smother banal over-reported issues.
For Education Beat, this is quite the opposite. The reporting, production and stories clearly demonstrate the staff’s well-educated background on this beat.
Looking forward to more!
Enjoyed the show!
Not many good education news podcasts out there. This one has potential. Knowledgeable host and great guests so far. I’ll be following along.
