  • Fun guests!

    Just listening to these podcasts is so fun and I feel like I learn while I’m also being entertained and really sitting in on a great conversation! I also love that it’s in all sides of EdTech and there’s people from language learning apps to math and science fields so you really get a whole spectrum!

  • One of a kind podcast

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for two years now and can confidently say it’s contributed to my growth as an EdTech designer. Alicia interviews a wide range of people on a wide range of topics that are all still connected to EdTech and/or UX in a way that is unlike any other show I listen to.

  • Great Podcast.

    Informative interviewees. Love that the podcast focuses on UX and EdTech.

    Great sound quality (i.e. you can hear the speakers very clearly). Whereas a lot of research podcasts have very poor sound quality.
