  • (Mostly) great stuff

    Lots of great content. Very occasionally a dubious claim will be made, e.g. ‘syllabi are legal documents’ -this is one of the biggest, bogus tall-tales of HE!

  • Thank You!

    Just wanted to thank you for your contribution to the field. As an active health and PE teacher, I have always struggled to keep up with the new research within our discipline. This podcast has changed that. I am so incredibly grateful for it and am actively unpacking each episode to use it in my classroom. Thank you 10x over!!

  • Innovative!

    An innovative approach to getting important work out of the “ivory tower” and into the mainstream. I love these for undergraduate and graduate students because they are easily consumable. Fantastic contribution! Bravo!
