Virtual Education

A few quick questions about why parents started to worry about where there kids are and when they'll be home for dinner. P.S. We know America's Most Wanted is for the criminals, not the kids.

From hybrid to virtual to in-person and back again; “I just go like sit and don’t do anything”; dojos, blackbelts, and blackboards; and Google Assistant insights on sponsorships

A status check on hybrid vs. virtual; a little bickering about podcast creative directions; some unsanctioned public health advice and shameless sponsorship discussion (we're looking at you nearpod.com); a masterclass in earthquake storytelling; and movie sequel chatter.

Reflections on the beginning of hybrid education; ruminations on pumpkins and their generally unappetizing nature; pie alliteration; longer than necessary conversations about printer hygiene; a smidge of talk about Thanksgiving memories wrapped around a double helping of business ideas; and guarantees for a fun Thanksgiving

Two guests of the podcast dish with Henry and Troy about virtual vs. in-person education—where “you get to do more things of course”; what’s good to eat in their neck of the woods; a plea to “give us the money for advertising”; and Lebanon bologna as an example of food you can’t get near you.

(Grand)parents make a guest appearance on an episode featuring reviews of WarGames; thoughts on remote parent teacher conferences; the continued search for podcast sponsorships; solving the mystery of who pays the Internet bill; and "the most detailed conversation we've had about virtual education on Virtual Education."

We discuss the merits of division, phone phreaking, Wi-Fi hacks, Sears Christmas shopping memories, and movie recommendations.

We talk art class creations, a mystery guest, the state of in-person education, schools that aren’t there anymore, the perils of too much drawing when you no longer take a nap, a more detailed than expected description of the bathrooms at school, and Holiday Inn dreams.

We talk food at live sporting events; Commodore International not existing anymore – “They don’t, I thought they did!”; school cafeteria pizza being a let down; and the best movies that involve ripping out guts.
