Crandiva ,

A fun and totally relatable podcast for educators!

Some stories are uplifting some heartbreaking, but all are relevant and relatable in Dana Goodier’s wonderful podcast for educators: Out of the Trenches.

Well worth the prime listening space in your podcast rotation as a way to connect and learn from other educators while being thoroughly entertained.

A Reminder that YOU aren’t alone!

As an educator we can often feel that we are alone, but this podcast reminds us that isn’t the case! Dana and her guests share their story in a way that creates a community you get to be a part of! Any episode will provide you insight and strategies you can immediately implement today!

Creatorzkid ,

Great back and forth.

I love the back and forth of this show. Dana makes guests feel welcome and they open right up. I really enjoyed the experience of being on the show and the content she brings to her listeners. We need more of these stories to help those still in the trenches. Great show!
