The Best
It's the best podcast I have ever been a part of. Patrick is the host with the most (Herr Professor), Danny is his every man partner in crime (with a PhD, no less), and the guest co-hosts, as Tony the Tiger would say, "They're great!!". Tackling an eclectic list of topical educational issues and bringing the academic down to Earth, they hope to entertain and enlighten. Is anybody else out there?
