  • Listen to make an INFORMED choice

    Definitely worth the listen. This is an excellent podcast that thoroughly explains and presents the research and evidence, including the data. Links included are helpful. To make a thoughtful response to the school district’s “ask”, I highly suggest this podcast.

  • Excellent

    100% recommend. The podcast helped me better understand complex policies and issues related to the Wauwatosa school system. The host is knowledgeable, factual and presents complicated topics in a concise and clear way. After listening, I have a dramatically better grasp on important concepts that affect my family, community and now am better informed to make confident choices when voting for the referenda.

  • This changed my outlook on school referendum

    This is a great listen for any parent in the Wauwatosa, or even Wisconsin, public school system. While the author shares his biases, the information he presents was not. I’m excited for the complete series!
