  • Great podcast for digging into interesting areas of primary education

    Always a good listen! Informative and well-read guests who discuss recent research in a clear and accessible way. I have taken so much from the literacy and PD episodes that have helped crystallise my own thinking. Highly recommended.

  • A Weekly Treat

    Love this podcast and the variety of excellent guests. I’ve deepened my understanding of reading and writing instruction but also gained new knowledge in other subject areas like maths and geography. It’s also good to see how primary ed flows into high school learning. Doesn’t hurt that the hosts’ accents are like honey down your ears! (‘Striny’ Aussie here)

  • Love it

    This shoe just improves and becomes more informative and on point with each new episode. These guys really have their finger on the pulse of what is going on in school and there is always a lot to take away and think about. I really like the accessible, humble and friendly manor between the hosts too. Listening to the podcast feels like you are in a pub with mates. Highly recommend
