Hi Reader

We are faced with a real problem at the BE Podcast Network! We have so many great shows, it's sometimes hard to choose what to listen to. And we are ready to grow! Want to be a host?

The BPN Mega Feed!

First, we are announcing the BE Podcast Network MEGAFEED! This has every single episode that is published in our network. It's a firehose!

So, I suggest a digest to get an email each week with the title of each show. To join that list, you can just click this link.

It will send you a new list of all the shows in the last week every Tuesday at 8 am pacific.

Clipfeed!

Second, we have created a curated feed of highlights from each show, so you can get a preview and see if you want to listen to that show. You can subscribe to that show here.

Hosts Wanted

Finally, have you ever thought you could host a podcast. I've said for years that everyone should have a podcast. We have a goal to have a show for every walk of life in education, and we're building new shows.

We also have some existing shows that are in need of hosts. We recently brought on a new host for Edutalk and for our AI in Education podcast.

If you're interested, just fill out this form, and then schedule a call with me.

Best,
Jethro

John Hattie on AI in Schools

October 24, 2026 Hi Reader What happens when AI makes learning too easy? That’s one of the questions at the center of this Friday’s EduTalk Radio conversation with John Hattie, the researcher behind Visible Learning. Hattie has spent decades studying what actually improves student learning. And his take on AI is not “ban it” or “embrace it.” It’s more interesting than that. Students need to struggle in order to learn. But some struggle is just unnecessary friction. So how do we know the...
