My Favorite School Podcast

This is my go to podcast for middle school matters.

Great discussions, good Advisory, best cohosts

Amazing jokes before a really good tour of current trends and topics for middle school.
Both hosts offer good insight through the lens of SE Michigan and their districts especially.

Love the Middle School Matters Podcast. A great host and the world's greatest co-show-host. I really enjoy the hour each year learning more about middle school education. Advisory hour, Middle School Science Minute, Twitterverse, News, In-Depth Topics. The hour flies by. Thanks guy for taking the time to do this great podcast for educators "who care."
