Top education podcast!
Big podcast fan and this is a top pick for teaching and learning topics.
Let’s try OPEN-ENDED questions
Just listened to my first episode and found the opening painful. Awesome guest (Anant Agarwal from EdX), but the interviewer led with yes/no questions and personal interjections that clearly made the guest uncomfortable. I won’t give up yet, but it was an unfortunate first impression.
