The Capital Times from Madison, Wisconsin reports on a new podcast by a pair of teachers, Marisa Patterson and Kyla Pilliod, who couldn’t find a relatable teacher podcast, so they made one themselves.
If You Give a Teacher a Mic started on December 14, 2020, and their episodes focus on topics like returning to school in the pandemic, taking time to rest, and self-care.
“I want our podcast to kind of help show that yeah, we’re real teachers and we’re talking about real issues,” Patterson said. “I just want to create a community of realness in education, because I don’t see that too often in social media.”
