This podcast has been an eye opening roller coaster of a journey. I am now on episode 95 and determined to go through. It has given me invaluable insights for my six-grader’s education and in understanding education as a whole. Material reviewed is top notch, including some bestselling books, and...Read full review »

Incredibly clear thinking process presented the same way makes it an amazing and insightful listening experience. Looking forward to more!

I thought this was going to be a very good podcast. I really liked the concept of discussing theory of education vs other education podcasts that just invite a different “expert” on every show (it’s always a teacher that quit teaching and decided to write a book or a blog on how to be a better...Read full review »

I am a professional piano teacher and I have listened to many podcasts across a wide range of fields, including education. I found Education Bookcast because I wanted to learn more about Direct Instruction and Siegfried Engelmann, and this was one of the few resources that covered this topic. The...Read full review »

This is one of my go-to podcasts. It’s interesting, informative and I enjoy hearing Stanislaw’s take on the books he reads. As a college tutor in the UK, I am struggling to get less able students through their English GCSE. The government states that students who received a 2 or 3 in their...Read full review »

Well thought-out and provoking content. I truly have enjoyed browsing episodes and hearing Staś’ take on various education topics. Highly recommended!

I’m so thankful for the tremendous amount of time and effort put into making this podcast! Ever since my sister shared it with me a few weeks ago I’ve been listening in all my spare time. Many of my well-intentioned ideas about education have been shaken, stretched, and challenged based on the...Read full review »

I am a graduate of secondary education currently working in adult education. I am disappointed in that 4 years of tertiary education I heard so little about the concepts covered in this podcast, and those that I did hear about, are usually debunked here. It’s informative, in touch with the...Read full review »

This podcast discusses education in an academic lens and synthesize multiple disciplines incredibly cohesively. I believe this is important since education sometimes feel lacking in academic rigor. Awesome podcast, as well as awesome lad. Big cheers.

Just started listening to this podcast, heard the ep about the Philosophy of Science. I’ve never had someone so concisely explain so many different & connected ideas in such a compelling way. So sick 10/10

I love these podcasts and find them so engaging and inspiring. They direct my own choices regarding reading material and challenge my teaching practice. Well worth a listen.

Please see my email to Stas which I finally got round to writing today - long overdue since this is the best of all podcasts out there, in my opinion. ‘I first encountered your podcast at around episode 70 (John Wooden) and, though I have missed a few, have been entranced ever since. They are...Read full review »

This is by far my favourite education podcast out there. I have been teaching for 16 years and Education Bookcast inspires me with each episode to reflect on my own practice. I accidentally stumbled across it a while back and was immediately hooked by the way Staś approaches a huge selection of...Read full review »

The content brought and discussed is top notch and the host delivery, demeanor and attitude is a delight to listen to.

First, as a researcher of education I want to recommend this podcast for everyone interested in teaching and learning. For new listeners I recommend starting at no 100 and the listening to no 101 and choose from there. Second, I do hope that you will keep going as you learn even more, and I would...Read full review »

I was initially searching for a lecture about constructivism and I found Stanislaw’s podcast. His clear, critical and in-depth reviews have been a breath of fresh air amongst my theoretical studies in education. When I felt like I was going sideways with constructivism, sir ken Robinson and the...Read full review »

This is an exceptional podcast. It offers value to every thinking person on the planet, not just teachers. The topics covered are extremely broad. Stas’s analysis and additional comments are very poignant. Top class.

Seeing as education is a multidimensional and highly complex field, having a podcast that provides its listeners with a coherent and clear approach to the myriad of concepts relevant to this discipline, is one of this podcast’s unique features. Mr. Pstrokonski’s candid and comprehensive...Read full review »

There’s way to much content on education out there that boils down to just loose, pseudo-intellectual musings… Education Bookcast is not one of those. Here, the host takes us on a genuine journey of understanding that he himself is going through. He is not afraid to take strong positions on the...Read full review »

The host does great job elaborating what books are about. He also delicately put his insights on each book. So grateful to this channel!

I am a university student hoping to have a future in education. I have really enjoyed this podcast finding it very useful and informative. The host has a nice demeanour about him which makes the content easy to understand and listen to. Keep up the good work!
DJWalkers via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/25/21
I’ve listened to maybe 20ish episodes so far. Each episode, the host talks about a book/article related to education, how the mind works, etc. He is great at highlighting the key ideas of each piece of work, providing quotes (often of entire passages) and details of the research backing these...Read full review »

I don't work in education but I do have kids and am trying to manage my own life long learning. The bookcast looks at the theory and practice around education with a non-ideological lens. This might sound dull and academic but the host is great and makes it really interesting. He's also...Read full review »

I love this podcast. I run an education Not for profit and don’t have a teaching background and really value the discussion around education encompassing a wide range of texts.
Legs1/28 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/18/20
The Education Bookcast is an outstanding podcast on teaching and learning in the broadest sense of the terms, ranging from the life of great teachers to modern classics of education. Usually, each episode focuses on a single book or paper, through which the host goes in the greatest detail,...Read full review »

I love these podcasts. Stas is a thoughtful, reflective and well-read commentator. His reviews combine the highlights of the chosen text with the benefits of his wisdom gleaned from a multitude of additional sources. As a result listening to these episodes is often more worthwhile than reading...Read full review »

Thank you so much for this amazing podcast and all the episodes. Listening to each episode is a deep dive into learning and self-reflection.

This podcast has kept me going throughout lockdown. I started with the recent episodes then looked back at older episodes -dipping into other little gems. I’ve learnt SO much in such a short time. I’m an experienced teacher (of 20 years plus) and am really keen to keep my ‘craft’ up to date....Read full review »

I find your podcast very informative. I’m a retired professional, from a medical discipline, but I’m enrolled in a few graduate courses in Education. My initial opinion of the Education dept. (and US college education) is very disappointing, my textbook is academic jargon (Herrera S.), and I’m...Read full review »

Very diligent in-depth analysis of the topics covered, backed by independent researching of the claims made in the books, including testing of concepts, mostly dealing with education and learning

Really enjoy this podcast. There’s a lot to take in but it’s well presented so it does go in! I learn something every episode.

It’s made even better when it’s sped up to 1.5x to 2.0x. Stan is very smart and his summaries are great but he’s quite slow in delivery. I also completely disagree with his thoughts on ADHD but regardless, this podcast is utterly packed with nuggets of wisdom. I truly appreciate the time it would...Read full review »
brixxyx via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/11/19
I find this podcast very valuable, since it not only presents and discusses theory that can enhance your view of life and learning, but I also think that Staś keeps a critical view of the books in a scientific manner. Which isn’t very common in a world full of self help methods.

I listen to this podcast three times a week and anyone interested into learning more about education, teaching, coaching or any other pedagogical driven professions will learn a lot.

Was looking for Timothy Gallwey inner game principle and found this podcast. Though I’m Russian, it was so easy to listen and understand, and I enjoyed how the speaker compared and explained positions of various great thinkers (Caneman Vs Gallwey, for example). Thank you from snowing Moscow!

It is amazing to have such a balanced review of what might be termed the alternative side of education. There are such a range of ideas and approaches that would otherwise be known by very few people. I think that educationalists need to be aware of as much of the sphere as possible and this...Read full review »
