Customer Reviews
Teachers, we deserve this
I listen to this podcast and I laugh, feel affirmed, and remember that I do, in fact, know what I’m doing. Can I please listen to these episodes instead of attending PD?
Entertaining yet professional (despite the name of the show)
Love listening to these guys. They are spot on about education and so funny. Great banter!
Funny and Inspiring
These guys make me laugh all of the time, but are also committed and kind educators who inspire me as much as entertain me on their show. These are the guys I would totally want to hang out with in the faculty lounge.
