Batsheva Frankel Wraps it Up

Description
This is kind of a bittersweet episode for me. I was blessed to get the job of my dreams, and I couldn’t be happier, but it means I’ll be wrapping things up for this podcast. After 4 amazing years, this will be my last new episode.  I’m going to give everyone a chance to catch up by rereleasing older episodes. I’ve been thinking about what I would want to say in this last episode. What are some magical words of wisdom I can leave you with?  Then I decided that the best way to end this run is to chat with the person who helped me start the podcast and continued to sponsor and support it for the last 4 years, Jim Hahn. In this conversation we talk about our “origin story”, how education has changed for better and for worse during this time, how long it takes a bowl of Cheetos to burn and a lot more. I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity to chat with over 120 incredible educators, students, and parents in these last 4 years. I’ve learned so much from all of them, and I’ve made some friendships that I truly cherish. I’ve also given away a lot of mugs!! I’ve been embraced by the “edupodster” community who are just the best, and I feel grateful that this show is part of the Education Podcast Network. I’m so thankful for all the talented voice actors who’ve helped me with my fauxmercials including Eli Schiff, Barbara Heller, Jill Moray, Spencer Krull, Ben Elterman, Karen Hollender, most of the Bookstein family, and my family Rivi, Tuvia and my awesome husband, announcer, and the builder of my recording booth, Yossie Frankel. And also those that helped write and produce some of the fauxmercials like Joshua Silverstein, Ben Talsma, Noah King and Eve Hirschman. And for my musical helpers Linda Leah Korn, Robby Helperin, Casey Arillaga and Barbara Heller, and for my theme music – Raise it Up, I thank the wonderful Distant Cousins. I really want to thank you, the listeners for sharing this continuing journey in bettering education for our students! Please stay in touch with me at [email protected] I’d love to hear from you. And this is a great time to get your Overthrowing Education swag. Who knows, maybe one day those mugs will become a collector’s item.
