TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:

In this episode, I speak with Tolbert about why he became a teacher, what it means to be well-read, and the goals of reading in our past and current educational system. As an added bonus, Tolbert takes my literary blindfold test with an incentive based beer blindfold taste test!

WORDS OF WISDOM:

“To become a teacher, you have to have that ‘moment’.”

“When you are well-read, you can look at things from a variety of perspectives and view points.”

“I wish I had read everything I was assigned in high school.”

“No art is new. It’s just repackaged. Once you understand that, it’s very freeing.”
