The Education Gadfly Show Podcast
Each week, you'll get three titillating and occasionally sophomoric 90 second debates on recent education news (a la Pardon the Interruption), featuring Fordham's Mike Petrilli and AEI's Rick Hess, free of charge. We'll even throw in an interview with either an education expert or a computer pretending to be an education expert (availability varies). And, as an added bonus, you get a weekly installment of Education News of the Weird, courtesy of our oh-so-strange correspondent Liam Julian. We're chock full of education goodness every time!
Bellhops from Singapore - April 03, 2008
Mike and last-time-bachelor Rick discuss the New York Times's take on underage drinking, anti-intellectualism, and race issues. Jeff Kuhner is outraged that 8-year-olds are getting away with near-murder, and Education News of the Weird is feeling way too sick to get up today.
Now with double the outrage - March 20, 2008
Mike and the New America Foundation's Sara Mead discuss Spellings, Baltimore, and the NIEER. Jeff Kuhner is outraged about Pell Grants for rapists, and Education News of the Weird just can't hold it.
The NEA should hire Spitzer - March 13, 2008
Mike and the National Council on Teacher Quality's Sandi Jacobs discuss whether liberals should support Reading First, the worst teachers deserve $10,000 to quit, and the best teachers deserve $125,000 to teach. Jeff Kuhner is outraged about lawyers, unions, theft, and Elliot Spitzer, and Education News of the Weird is, psst...yo...got any Milk Duds?
Oppose Morass - February 28, 2008
Mike and Rick talk Common Core, student pranks, and two schools--so close, yet so far. "Unemployed" school bus drivers are the Education Outrage of the Week, and Education News of the Weird does not compute.
Little Limbaugh - February 21, 2008
Mike and Rick discuss Barack Obama's comments on vouchers, the battle between charter schools and Catholic schools, and whether Fordham's new report is really "laughably reactionary." Jeff Kuhner serves up an Education Outrage of the Week, and Education News of the Weird sacrifices for fashion.
