Customer Reviews
Entertaining and educational!
This is a fantastic podcast designed to be informative and entertaining. I feel like I’m sitting at a table with other educators and chatting about new ways to approach our material. Well done!
Wish I enjoyed more.
There are great guests and topics here, unfortunately I cannot sink into the host’s interview style. The pacing, overly reiterating the guest’s insights before asking a pertinent question, and sometimes not allowing a more nuanced convo to develop. Also, add the links in the show notes that guests mention. That’s a pretty basic podcast curtesy to guests and listeners.
Ultra practical and well produced.
Fantastic stuff, Barbi! Every episode is packed with stuff I can use the very next day.
