We were interviewed on the radio this week about the podcast and, following feedback from a podcast review about wanting to know more about the Hands Up! hosts (keep these coming in by the way), we decided that this week's guests would be... us! So we'll look closer at our radio interview.

There's no Mark in this week's podcast! He's had to stay in at playtime and think long and hard about what he's done but he has pre-recorded an actual review of TV show 'Teachers' this time. Jordan is instead joined in the studio by this week's guest. She's a deputy headteacher, the manager of a primary initial teacher training provider (and, side-note, also Jordan's wife!) Antonia Firth! 
Jordan counts down the top 5 school dinners and we discuss how to spot a teacher in the wild, featuring your tweets!

Love is in the air and we're back for a third season with another slight format change! In this episode Jordan ranks the school holidays from best to worst, Mark (kind of) looks at the TV show 'Teachers' as part of his Famous Fictional School and we'll be charming the socks of each other as we look at the #EduValentinesLines trend.
We're also thrilled to announce our new guest segment! Where we’ll ask fellow educators about their experiences. In this episode we're joined by wellbeing award winner Cate Knight! aka @MissyMusician81 on Twitter, aka the girl who threw up in a recorder, if you're familiar with the podcast.
