Stas podcast genius
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 brilliant, thought-provoking, balanced and fabulously free of the dogma and bias that can infect educational thinking. So thank you, first of all. I have just tracked back to your Daniel Kahneman episode and felt ashamed at having not given you fuller, more regular - well, any! - feedback. The breadth and range (c.f. Epstein, I bought the book and dropped it in the bath!) is fascinating and always delivered in your steady, humane, conversational style. (Many podcasts I have tried seem to be as much dedicated to self-promotion as to the subject in hand and you completely avoid this.) So thank you again. The tone of discussion, the impartiality, the way your views migrate in the face of evidence is interesting to witness and a great backdrop for my own thinking. I am the head of a small (150 children, between 4 and 13) prep school in the UK and have a disparate team of colleagues who represent a good(ish) range of teaching styles and characteristics whose impact on the children is, on balance, pretty good, I'd say, but we're always willing to learn - I hope. It is a rare thing (Dunbar's number, perfect!) to have a community more like a village where everyone is closely involved in the holistic development of the children.’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 »
