Overthrowing Education

by Batsheva Frankel Education Podcast Network

Batsheva Frankel presents an edgy and entertaining educational podcast for teachers, students, parents, administrators and anyone else who cares about the state of education. While it is playful and fun, I also address the revolutionary changes that are happening and need to happen to create more meaningful and engaging education. We’ll celebrate students, educators, and schools who are getting it right and give tools and guidance for inspiring everyone else. Each episode starts with a fauxmercial - a commercial parody for fake educational products we wish were real. And every interview ends with the guest playing The 5-Minute Game Show which is written specifically for the topic and guest of each episode. Who knew that revolutionizing schools could be so fun?

Refreshing and intriguing

I love the quirky and fun bookends (fauxmercials and game show) in each episode. It's so refreshing to listen to you having fun while also digging into meaningful ways to create change in education. I'm a fan!!!

Just right

This podcast’s balance of lighthearted and substantive captures exactly how I feel about my job as an educator. I can’t wait to keep listening.

Truly Forward Thinking

This show does an amazing job of promoting forward thinking ideas of how schools can adapt to modern society. So many of the teaching methods used are archaic and this podcast does a great job of challenging those models. I enjoy the guests and the conversation. I am a firm believe that all student voices need to be heard.

Excellent!

Batsheva Frankel is an excellent interviewer who brings so much creativity and experience to the show. The faux-mercials and 5 minute game show are fantastic, but be warned: you might shout out your guesses in a public place and get weird looks!

Punctuating the grave state of education with a funky edge, this podcast lifts your mood while respecting the urgency of reforming public education. Entertaining and uplifting yet poignant.

Love this!

As a former “bad student” I love that there’s a podcast to help teachers connect better with their students. Great show!

Great Ideas

Awesome education podcast! As a former teacher, it’s inspiring to see that there are disrupters out there. Education is a cornerstone to an equitable society and full life.

Exciting!!

I really love the ideas discussed. Reminds me some of the unschooling moving. Sean Michael Morris’ ideas about teaching and grading young writers really resonates! Bat Sheva is an inspiring educator. I wish she had been my high school English teacher:) Will listen to all episodes and happily anticipate new ones.

Fun and engaging!

This podcast series on new approaches to education is really fun and engaging. Just like education should be. Each episode keeps getting better. The host doesn’t just interview her innovative guests, she interacts and offers her vast experience which really enhances the discussions. The topics are interesting at a conceptual level, but the host always challenges the guest to provide practical and relatable specific ways to implement the ideas. I love the “sponsored commercials” and game show included in each episode. I have a long commute to work, and Overthrowing Education makes the time fly by. I wish my teachers tried these concepts when I was in school. Can’t wait until the next episode!
