The Staff Room Podcast Harry Stachini

This is a special edition episode as I won't be sharing any anonymous stories this week. But instead I'll be speaking with Marvin Foe, the author behind the brilliantly entertaining and highly enlightening book 'The Bastard Teacher'. Having read it myself I think it provides the most honest picture into the world of non-mainstream education. It's punchy, It's honest. It's funny. It's sad. It's mint! I think Marvin's blurb says it all...

The Bastard Teacher - Sometimes kids are little twats, sometimes their parents are stupid cunts, sometimes the staff are complete dickheads, and more often than not the Ofsted inspector really needs to be told to f**k off. These are the brutally honest and unfiltered true stories of a teacher, working with students who have been deemed too unruly for mainstream school and the staff that are insane enough to show up every day and work with them. Laugh and cry as you read crazy tales of education, amputation, defecation and… Tit wanks?

This is the final teacher's story of the term and it's a cracker! It's got a little bit of everything to it and I personally would have loved this teacher to have been mine at school. The very funny and charming Welshman Morgan Rees joins me as my guest. One of the rising stars of the UK circuit. He has appeared on BBC Radio 4 in the prestigious finals of the BBC New Comedy Award. He was also a runner-up in So You Think You’re Funny 2017, and a finalist in Chortle Student Comedy Award. We had a great laugh recording this one!

This week a headteacher has sent me a story about one very annoying parent who sounds like a proper 'Karen'. Tez Ilyas is one of the most celebrated stars in British comedy. I'm buzzing to have him on the show just before he kicks off his brand new nationwide tour show 'Populist'. Since 2015 Tez achieved phenomenal success with his debut stand up hour TEZ Talks. He's appeared on Live at The Apollo (BBC Two), The Last Leg (C4), Mock the Week (BBC Two) and Live From the BBC (BBC Two). Tez’ Channel 4 comedy Blap 'Bounty' is the most-watched show in the strand’s 10 year history. In 2019 he fronted his own Channel 4 satirical sketch series The Tez O’Clock Show to huge critical acclaim. Throughout lockdown, he wrote his new hotly anticipated debut novel 'The Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 3/4, a teenage memoir' - available to buy now! ⁠

This week I've got a story from a teacher on their first day of teacher training and it's a hell of a first day. My guest is Eric Rushton, winner of Leicester Mercury Comedian of The Year 2020 (previously won by the likes of Romesh Ranganathan, Jason Manford and Jonny Vegas on their way to stardom). Since his comedy debut in 2014, Eric Rushton has been mixing with the best newcomers on the comedy scene, and impressing audiences with his intelligent, playful material and likeable, self-deprecating stage persona.⁠ Plus Eric tells me about his 'Del Boy' days at school, supply teaching and when the students he taught found out he was a comedian.⁠

I've been waiting weeks for a teacher to send something about parents evenings and now the time has come to hear what teachers really think but never say. I'm joined by one of the finest MC's and down to earth comedians in the country - Rich Wilson. He's a multi-award-winning comedian and podcast host. A regular at all of the UK’s major comedy clubs. His wonderful whit has taken him around the world, culminating in multi-award-winning, sell-out shows at the biggest comedy festivals such as Melbourne, Perth and New Zealand. Rich is also the host of the wildly popular podcast Insane In The Men Brain where he talks to funny and interesting people about their experiences with mental health. He has earned himself an award for “Best Podcast” with JOE and gained a nomination for “Best Social Conscience Podcast” at the Podbible Poll Winners Awards. We talk about the lack of fear in schools, naughty schoolboys and parenting. It's a cracker and pleasure to have Rich on the show.
