  • Awesome stuff!

    "Awesome stuff! I love the multiple perspectives and views on progressive education. I will say some of the sound quality of the early podcasts is "tinny" and it can be really hard to hear Dan sometimes...but otherwise this is a fantastic ed podcast. I wish I would've had educators with this mentality when I was in school! Ended up even supporting their Patreon. 🙌🙌 "
