I think I’ve found my kindred spirit in Jess.. like East Coast meets West Coast in the teaching world! I just came across this podcast and knew it was love at first listen! I seriously could’ve titled this myself as I’m constantly telling my inner circle not to mind me and my shenanigans because...Read full review »

I wish I had this while active teaching . Jess is amazing as well as Vinnie ( he was super funny) and their banter was enjoyable! But I’m super glad that Jess will Continue while Vinnie is on to other ventures. Her content is spot on . I highly recommend this cast for all educators...Read full review »

I have only recently found this podcast and I’ve totally binged it to catch up. I love listening and the banter reminds me of my husband (he’s British too!) and I when we talk about the differences in the US and the UK education system. Thank you for bringing quality discussions about teachers...Read full review »

I have listened to several episodes, and I really enjoy listening to Jess. I’m unfollowing for the moment though. Only till Vinny is gone. He’s hilarious, but whines a little too much for my taste.
EmilyAAL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/23
I was a huge fan of the show. However, the latest episode is bothersome. Vinny comments how some TPT sellers who left the classroom are “exploiting” themselves by making money off teachers. That is harsh and ironic coming from someone who has made money off teachers on a podcast and comedy...Read full review »

A conversation between two people just doesn’t seem as dynamic on the comedy front. However, all of the stories are very relatable if you are a teacher.

I have followed Bored Teachers on social media for a while but becoming a librarian made me connect even more and listening to Jess’ podcast is the best way to unwind after a day of being a hot mess teacher express!
DramaLiz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
I’m immediately finding you on all the social media and becoming best virtual friends. Jess makes me feel better about my own hot mess, while actually being so inspirationally put together. SHE GETS IT! 10/10 would recommend.
PeterB247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/22
This show is so fun to listen to as a student because I learn how teachers feel, and I’ve only ever had one teacher who has been real with me. I love getting a look at a teacher’s point of view, and what they have to put up with.

pandagale1234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/22
My first time listening to this show and it was such an amazing episode for me. This second to last week of school with so much piled on us is so draining, then the tragedy in Texas breaking us. Thank you for this reminder💕
A.Tayy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/22
This is one of my favorite podcasts. I eagerly listen to each episode. Jess has a way of connecting with the listener, really demonstrating her understanding of what teachers are going through. She will make you laugh. She will make you think. She will make you smile. This is a podcast worth...Read full review »

I cannot even put into words how this hit me! Please, interview me one day. I’ve been teaching for over 25 years. Currently in my place of 16 years with 4 year olds. I have SO much to say! LOVE this pod cast, LOVE you! It’s not always sunshine & rainbows !!
$c0t+ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/21
I love teaching and I love this podcast. Jess keeps it real and keeps me laughing. I typically listen to this podcast when I go for a walk. It’s my form of self care!
RobynJ14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/21
I love how REAL this fancy lady is; what a great reminder for us all! We all have hard days, great days, meh days. Jess highlights the joy in all and allows us to find someone else who… “Oh ya, I’ve done that.” Thank you, lady. You are such a blessing!!!
Liz 🧜🏼‍♀️ H via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/21
Absolutely LOVE this podcast! It brightens my day and gives me the fuel I need to keep on chugging along! If you are a teacher (or friend/relative/spouse of a teacher) and you haven’t listened yet, get yourself a ticket to this hot mess express! You won’t regret it!
mrswellsteachertalk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/21
I love listening to Jess! She’s great, has fantastic ideas and is so real and down to earth. I feel like we’re chatting on the phone while I listen to her podcasts. She’s sassy and silly and oh so real. She’s the best teacher friend you’ll ever have!
kendrabreann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/21
I’ve been a follower of Jess on Instagram for a long time and have used her TPT resources for even longer. I am going into my 9th year teaching and having a podcast to listen to that speaks to the hardships of teaching and the importance of self care has been such a huge breath of fresh air!!

The first episode I listened to was #5. As a second year teacher going into my third year this episode spoke to my soul. It is a relief to know that I am not alone in my feelings! I knew teacher burn out was a thing but I did not expect to feel it my second year in. Thank you for bringing this...Read full review »

Loved your most recent podcast. I’ve been teaching for over 25 years and for the first time in my life I took a medical leave. I stayed home and took care of myself. I put myself first.So grateful that I work in a school board where this is possible. I now have the tools moving forward to stay...Read full review »

I’m about to start my first year teaching in August 2021. I am so excited, and this podcast has given me great insight to the fun and struggles of what teachers experience. Can’t wait for more episodes, and more tips as I start my own Spanish Teaching journey!
savthenewbee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/21
I came into my first year teaching in January of 2021, and it was a roller coaster. There were so many ups and downs, but I learned so much. I happy that I found this podcast. Jess is so funny and her guests are great. 💛
Shelbys Seconday Edventures via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/21
Teachers unite! The host, Jess Smith, wants teachers everywhere to know that they are not alone in the hot-mess-express known as teaching. In the first episode, "Hot Mess School of Education", Jess reflects on her path to teaching and some of the frustrations of the past year. She also...Read full review »

FINALLY a teacher podcast that is relatable. I give it the biggest gold star. ⭐️
ashley acosta churchill via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/21
I love Jess’s videos and this is one more way to laugh and know we’re not alone.
Krizzy416 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/21
With the 2020-2021 school year being what it is/was, this podcast I needed in the worst way. I have laughed so hard and it makes me feel so much better becasue I no longer feel alone.
UncrnLdy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/21
Love this podcast.....whether you are new to teaching or have been doing this for years, this podcast will have you rolling on the floor laughing (just make sure it’s not your classroom carpet...Eeww) CANNOT WAIT for more episodes!!!
Lori Weitzel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/21
I’m in school to get my degree in Elementary Education and this podcast has me in stitches. I loved the mandatory classes Jess thinks all new teachers should take. Ha!
Jenn Lindauer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
Let me adjust my messy bun. ...... loved it. Relatable
rezzul2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/21
Loved this first podcast! It’s relatable, I don’t feel alone in my teaching experience AND I feel like I know Jess even without meeting her!
KHardy1120 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/21
Jess doesn’t disappoint in this debut podcast! Her past videos on Bored Teacher showed she can keep it real, bring humour and unite teachers who otherwise feel isolated and a little but crazy!
MGait61 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/27/21
This podcast is wonderful! It’s honest and amazing. As a second year teacher this is honest and fantastic
kchestnut9128 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/21
After watching you on YouTube I have to tell you, I have such a profound respect for your profession. And it is a profession with professionals doing a thankless job. I wish that I had such a great teacher like you back in the stone age when I went to school. You really are good at what you do.
sixtus66 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/21
I am a new teacher (just graduated in 2020!) and this is such an awesome show so far. I can’t wait to hear all the tips and tricks about teaching!
Micayla K. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/21
I love to listen to the stories...so real and relatable. I sit here and laugh and love the honesty.
Barecca2001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/21
I love the honesty and that you keep it real.
mrteacherteaches via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/21
Bored teachers helps me get through the tough times of teaching! If I’m not laughing I’m going to cry... episode one again helps us teachers laugh about things that could make the lesser teachers cry!
Mean brink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/21
Jess, you are just so down to Earth and discussing things that are just beyond relatable to teachers everywhere. Already can’t wait to listen to the next episode!
Ahamilton12 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/21/21
Jess occasionally pops up on my social and as a first year teacher I love to listen to the humor and compare to my own experience through deciding to be a teacher!
Rusty silver wooden robot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/21
Jess is hilarious, and I found myself nodding along the entire time! She really finds a way to take what we love to do and find the humor in it.
