I enjoy Unsupervised Leadership — a podcast for fun, fab and fierce females on Spotify, which is hosted by Courtney Orzel (IASA Assoc. Dir. for PD and former Supt.) and Kate Koch (Principal in Lemont 113A SD). If you want to hear “real talk” this one is for you! There are many amazing experts/speakers who are featured on the podcast.

Nice White Parents. This podcast discusses how progressive white parents may say they want their kids to go to diverse schools, but the reality tells a different story. It specifically talks about integrating public schools in New York City. Very interesting.

A couple of podcasts that come to mind are:
– Econtalk: Conversations for the Curious (since we are finance-minded folks).
– The Education Gadfly Show (aligned to conservative planning, presents a nice alternative).
