  • Curiosity in podcast form

    Shane’s discussions with knowledgeable others offers the listener an opportunity for reflection on their work, but the education landscape as a whole. Shane’s approach is from genuine curiosity for a nuanced understanding of the contemporary issues dominating the field. Well worth the time to listen.

  • Quality conversations and reflections

    I enjoy the format of this show which switches between deep dive 30-minute interviews and shorter solo reflective pieces. This format keeps topics and the podcast feeling fresh and relevant.

    A recent episode I enjoyed was A Fresh Take on Teacher Conferences, which provides valid insights into an educational Festival. It was inspiring to hear about these type of events which are the future of teacher conferences.

    Keep up the brilliant work, Shane.

  • Interesting listen from an educator’s point of view

    I really enjoyed the topic as it didn’t just look at school leadership, as many podcasts do. This looked into the parental expectations of schools in China and identified the effect of the changes in demographic Chinese international schools have had to negotiate.
