Welcome, class! 
Dan and Brodie compare their first days in a tough English comprehensive and an elite Scottish private school. Can school really be that different? 
With audience submissions, a help desk, and a quiz to see if Dan and Brodie really know how the other half lives, this pod is a quirky, nostalgic, and quite bloody rude look at 'The Happiest Days of Our Lives'.

ClassWars EP01: First Days of School

School is school, right? Same work, same teachers, same challenges, same old Monday to Friday. 
Could two school experiences a mere 300 miles apart really be that different? 

Streetwise, rule-breaker, and ready to throw hands to earn respect, Dan battled through his time at a tough, council estate school in Coventry, England. Weakness was not an option on the scheme where the daily lessons were: Deflect the agro onto the less fortunate and make a killing selling contraband smokes, drinks, porn, and of course, cookies.

Brodie, on the other hand, attended one of Scotland’s most prestigious private schools. Built in the early 1600s by the king’s goldsmith. This imposing and beautiful building, replete with secret tunnels, eccentric gown-wearing teachers, and a cornucopia of privileged pupils, provides a counterpoint to Dan’s world down south. When the bell rings, are they really singing the same tune? 

This unlikely duo, compare and contrast the ’happiest days of their lives’ -
 Fencing vs shivs, the herb vs a nice herbal tea, boys’ school vs co-ed. 
Who do you go to when you need someone to buy you cider at the corner shop?
Who do you go to to help you with your Latin Grammar? 
What’s the best way to chase off someone dealing cigarettes on your turf? 
Is the ’soggy biscuit game’ real? 

Packed with contributions from listeners, this nostalgic, comedic, culture-clash podcast examines the extremes of the school experience under a microscope... then gets bored, opens up a science textbook, and draws a massive cock on page 84.
