Recently, I discovered podcasts. I take that back. I've known about podcasts for years, but only recently started really listening to them. The reason is that I'm beginning a new exercise program and wanted to learn while I sweated. But, no matter what got me started, I'm finding a wealth of valuable learning through podcasts.
If you aren't familiar with what a podcast is, a simple definition is that it is a talk show that you can download and listen to at any time. There are hundreds of them available on every topic imaginable. I lean toward education and leadership podcasts.
Below are several of my favorites that I cycle through each week. If you have other suggestions, please leave them in the comments. I'm always open to learning.
Better Leaders, Better Schools - This podcast is designed to help school leaders get better through learning from the wisdom of those both inside and outside the school setting.
Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers- Angela Watson provides great ideas for teachers on a variety of topics and from many different guests.
Andy Stanley's Leadership Podcast - Pastor Andy Stanley provides leadership motivation, ideas, and wisdom from his own experience and interviews with other leaders.
Kids Deserve It - Todd Nesloney and Adam Welcome provide motivation for educators in each weekly interview with a leader in various fields.
You can use many different services to access podcasts including iTunes. I personally use the app Podbean, which is available on the AppStore or GooglePlay. But, there are many others that provide the same function. However you choose to do it, I encourage you to start listening. It is worth the time.
Again, please feel free to leave your favorite podcasts in the comments section.
