After celebrating the end of 2020/start of 2021 you may realize that you have one more gift from 2020, a hangover. Come by Balderdash Academy and learn how hangovers are much like babies, oregano, colonoscopies, and cereal. You won’t believe what you hear coming up in the bonus of episode 15, only on Balderdash Academy.

In this special holiday episode of the Teacher's Lounge, we meet more of the staff of Balderdash Academy. After a meeting on the Carol of the ABCs we learn why the food in the cafeteria has the students going back for more. We listen in on the final exam for Professor McGill's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy class. We then meet the accident-prone bus driver Tedward, and go outside of the school grounds into the village of Balderdash. Then unwrap it all up by sitting in on the faculty's Secret Santa. It may not be a holiday miracle, but it sure is funny.

What better way to cap off our time with John McCarthy than by explaining to him how Sex is like a Muddler, a cat, and a bicycle pump. Yikes. Lots of great pointers all in the bonus of episode 14, on Balderdash Academy.

We're back at Balderdash Academy celebrating our big win on Thanksgiving. This week we meet a pair of substitute teachers and listen in while our faculty discusses the A, B, Cs of parent/teacher conferences. We then meet some BA students while Professor Randy Hunt interviews students for the Stage Manager position for the winter play.  We end the visit overhearing something nefarious and learning about the sandwich in space in a Moment in History.
