Ep 251 - Opening the Suggestion Box

Join Paula Poundstone, co-host Adam Felber and a long list of characters, real and imaginary, on Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone, a podcast taking the fun of a late-night show, the wit of a public radio show, and the knowledge of a guest expert while setting the volume to the max. Acerbic yet infectiously funny, Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone invites listeners into the audience of this absolutely ludicrous variety show, if they can follow along…or not.

Ep 305 - Learning About Learning with David Steiner
It’s been 2 decades since President George W Bush had the courage to ask the question, “Is our children learning?” So now, all the years later, we must have the courage to ask the followup: Well, has they? Is our children learned? We’ve got the Executive Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy David Steiner here to help us understand why they is or has not. And speaking of learning, it’s time to explore Lithuania, on Toni and Bonnie’s Oral Report.
