Jamie Gass, Director of Pioneer Education at the Pioneer Institute, draws on decades of experience in education policy and public administration to discuss how standards drift, accountability weakens, and systems redefine success instead of confronting failure. The episode explores how these changes shape classroom realities and affect students and families over the long term.

Guest: Ted Chamberlin
Episode: 021
Recorded at: Cumberland Tavern Studio, Rhode Island

For almost 30 years, marine instructor Ted Chamberlin has trained students in marine engines, propulsion, and hands-on troubleshooting. In this conversation, Ted breaks down how smartphones reshaped the classroom, why mechanical reasoning is collapsing, and why the marine industry is facing a historic shortage of skilled workers.

Ted explains how dealerships are billing $175–$225 per hour for marine technical labor, how shops are booked weeks out, and how students who commit to the work go straight into well-paid, high-demand jobs. Jason reflects on what Ted’s program meant to him as a student, while Caleb and Brad explore the cultural forces that derailed a generation.

• Phones and the collapse of attention
• Students entering trades unprepared
• Why mechanical instinct is disappearing
• The illusion of “YouTube learning”
• The $200/hour marine tech shortage
• Trade school reality checks
• What makes students succeed
• Ted’s favorite stories from the shop
• The future of marine mechanics

Mike “Sten” Stenhouse doesn’t play by the establishment rules — not in baseball, not in politics, and not when it comes to exposing what’s really happening in Rhode Island.

In this longform tavern conversation, Sten shares why he believes the free market fails in corrupt systems, how a local school secretly transitioned a teenage girl without telling her parents, and why most elected officials are afraid to speak. He also reflects on his time in the major leagues, his own public backlash moments, and what Rhode Island still has left worth fighting for.

This is a candid and gritty conversation about policy, pressure, and personal conviction — with more than a few moments of jaw-dropping truth.
