Always fun to listen to

I love listening to you guys talk and always walk away with a new idea to check out for my classroom. Your podcast is like a virtual teachers’ room— so welcome since Covid has taken much of that opportunity away. Keep it up! **Update: still loving your podcast... @findingmyaloha, redundant:)

Solid!

Great show, solid entertaining banter. I’ve learned a lot and had fun listening. Sometimes it’s too quiet for me to hear, especially Scott’s voice.
