Stay Engaged Beyond the Podcast

We believe that education isn’t just a policy debate—it’s an evolving story that deserves deeper exploration. That’s why our producer and host, Louis Freedberg, has launched a Substack to complement the podcast, offering in-depth analysis, opinion pieces, and extended conversations around the topics we cover on air.

Follow along on Substack:

Louis’s Substack is designed to give you more than just a recap of the podcast.

Here’s what you’ll find:

  • Deeper dives into key education issues—expanding on what we discuss in episodes

  • Fresh perspectives on policy changes—what they mean for students, educators, and schools

  • Behind-the-scenes insights—reflections and takeaways from podcast interviews

  • Actionable ideas and solutions—focusing on what’s working (and what isn’t) in education

  • Exclusive written content—for those who prefer reading over listening

By following both the podcast and Substack, you’ll get the full picture of the shifting education landscape—from policy changes to classroom innovations. Join us in the conversation.
