You've heard the tips. You've heard the bell ding (you know the one). But in all our episodes of The What & Who of EDU, we somehow forgot to introduce... us. In this special behind-the-scenes episode, we're flipping the mic to spotlight the trio that brings the EDU-niverse to life: Marisa Bluestone, Host and Resident \"Why?\" Asker LaShawn Springer, Host and Champion of Inclusive Pedagogy Derek Lambke, Producer and French New Wave film fan (we had to) Together, we talk about what brought us to education, how podcasting reshaped our approach to storytelling, and what we've learned from the incredible educators we've featured. Expect laughter, reflection, shoutouts to students and librarians, and maybe a Gator reference or two. Plus, we share our dream segments (confession cams? classrooms in the field? students on the mic?) and what we're hoping to explore in future episodes. 🔍 In This Episode: What podcasting taught us about storytelling (and why it's not just about what you say) Moments from past guests that made us think differently about education The real reason we believe this show matters (hint: it's not about downloads) Our favorite educator tips, and the ones we still think about The dream segments we may yet one day try Have an idea for a dream segment?
