  • Teaching Tangents Finale

    It's the last episode of Teaching Tangents, we are retiring the show! As we explain in the video, logically flowing from our previous episode about completing 2021 and creating 2022, we looked at Teaching Tangents, and decided it's time to close the show as it stands.

    School only takes you so far when it comes to tackling life’s big questions. Join us on wild tangents as psychology teacher James D’Souza and brand strategist Willem van der Horst delve into one of those complex questions in every episode. If you’ve ever asked yourself a question like “Is it pointless to aim lower than 100%?”, or “Do I need a purpose in life?”, and enjoy random inspiration, then this is for you.
