My summer PD happens at the pool with Ben and Becky, and they definitely keep my attention. Their online personalities are authentic to the educators they are; smart, passionate, and a bit silly. They are dedicated to the profession, and it shows in the questions they ask their high profile guests. My “to read” list keeps growing because of this podcast, and I love how Vrain Waves prompts deep conversation and action at my school too. Keep the episodes coming.
