Peter and Alli always have a great variety of guests on the show. They are in all sort of spaces that contribute to education and how we can think about education outside of the norms. I also like the recaps they do after an interview or they talk about some of their takeaways. If you are in the education space and you want to think out of the box, this is a great podcast for you.
What a great podcast. Allie and Peter are true believers that education needs to realize the necessary pivot from the traditional methods. If your passionate about education the is the best podcast to listen to.
