  • Sound quality of guests not always up to scratch but enjoyable pod when you can hear it

    Love the show but disappointed with Carl Hendrick’s sound quality. Enjoy all the nerdy content that Adam and Amy bring us each week :)

  • Disappointing

    I came to this after hearing some excellent interviews of Adam Boxer on other shows. Have skipped around thru several eps but cannot listen anymore. By Episode 41 the sound quality has not improved at all, they talk on top of music so that you can’t hear what they say, parts keep skipping and they just waffle on. They need to invest in some better microphones and actually listen to what they are putting out as a final product.

  • Listen on your way to school

    It is great to hear educators talking shop and not holding back. Sometimes the episodes may need the “E” but there are not many teachers I know that don’t swear. A fun and helpful educational podcasters for teachers and educators across the globe. Go on - give it a listen.
