Learn AND Laugh
Jennifer and Paul are entertaining and this podcast is great for educators who are looking for information about the history of our profession. I think it's a must listen for students who are deciding to study education.
Nicely produced podcast from a technical POV as well!

Less on Education, More on Liberal Ideology
95% of this podcast is literally "The white guy" and "The system". I was hoping for a nice serious series that you could sit back and listen to at a casual pace. Turns out this is just two people laughing at history and blaming things on founding father and the people that got them to where they are. Disappointed.
