In this week's episode of Otis Brown Podcast, I discuss my chief pedagogical goal, my life as a teacher and my method that I call, "Let's pretend we're talking about a poem." It's not all me, though. I also discuss the great HBO show Treme, the new Pixar film Soul and a Billy Collins poem. I hope these reflections on what a teacher is and does are interesting to anyone who has ever tried to learn or teach anything--not just those of us who have lost our classrooms to the pandemic.
Thanks!

I love that a professor is one of the sideshow "freaks."
