There are a lot of positive things to say about Pod for Teacher [it's interesting, the hosts are instantly likeable and provide excellent banter, it's timely and informative], but after binge-listening to about a dozen episodes this weekend, the thing that sticks out to me the most is that it is legitimately uplifting.
The "Smells Like Broken Spirit" episode inspired me as an educator who sometimes struggles with morale in a system that sometimes feels broken, and that positivity echoed across nearly every episode. The hosts take a positive-yet-realistic approach to a diverse range of contemporary topics in education, and in doing so, provide a reflective, research-informed voice that more teachers need to hear.
I am so encouraged by the level of quality that these excellent educators bring to this endeavor. Thank you for your work to inspire students in the classroom and teachers on The Pod. I look forward to the next episode!
