    Episode 20: Forgotten Pants and Naked Clashes

    Welcome to Episode 20! This will be the season finale, and I hope to pick back up in September. Watch social media if you want to know when I'm coming back. Thanks so much for all the support I've received from family, friends, and even a few kind strangers! Thank you! The Gen X M-Fer suggested NOTHING. He did, however, share his wishlist of what he WANTS to watch (how kind, yes?).

    Episode 1: Ranting, Raving, and Rescuing: Just another day as a teacher.

    Due to a massive head cold and horrid sounding voice, I have to give you a fond memory this week instead of a new episode. See you next week with Episode 17! Episode 1 seems like so long ago! Welcome to Episode 1 of The Gen X Teacher! I hope all generations (OK, maybe not Alphas) will enjoy this podcast...even if you're not a teacher OR a Gen Xer. This week I rant, rave, and experience a We Are Teachers rescue AND interviewee number one stops by for a fun conversation about throwing chairs. Don't miss out!
