Hi Reader,

I'm excited to announce we have two new podcasts on the BE Podcast Network.

Improving Education Today: The Deep Dive

You've probably heard of AI tools to create content. The eternal problem will always be, garbage in-garbage out, which means if you start with something low quality, you'll get low quality out the other side. Dr. Howie Knoff has been doing just the opposite, creating high quality articles and turning those into meaningful podcasts with AI Educators Davey Johnson and Angela Jones.
