Chalk Radio is an MIT OpenCourseWare podcast about inspired teaching at MIT. We take you behind the scenes of some of the most interesting courses on campus to talk with the professors who make those courses possible.
Our guests open up to us about the passions that drive their cutting-edge research and innovative teaching, sharing stories that are candid, funny, serious, personal, and full of insights. Listening in on these conversations is like being right here with us in person under the MIT dome, talking with your favorite professors.
And because each of our guests shares teaching materials on OCW, it's easy to take a deeper dive into the topics that inspire you. If you're an educator, you can make these teaching materials your own because they're all openly-licensed.
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hansen from MIT Open Learning.

Customer Reviews
Great!
I am very thankful that this podcast exists. As mentioned in the trailer, it is close to being able to having a quick conversation with these great professors about their interesting courses. I loved the episode with Gilbert Strang and look forward to listening to subject that I would not normally be exposed to.
Suggestion: Please do an episode on 6.0001 with Dr. Ana Bell, Prof. Eric Grimson, and Prof. John Guttag.
A Generous Gift
The chalk radio podcasts do a great job of talking about complex ideas in ways that do not make them intimidating. Everything talked about in these podcasts is relevant to the layperson who comes to learn or the prospective student trying to feel out the school. Fantastically produced, I highly recommend.
Very Interesting and Insightful Podcast
This is a great show. I like hearing from diverse faculty on how they teach different subjects. Lots of good tips too! And a really good host.
