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

A thought on attendance and student connection

June 03, 2026 Hi Reader I’d like to share something with you through the BE Podcast Network that’s been coming up often in my conversations with school and district leaders. One question keeps circling back. How can schools reduce chronic absenteeism in a way that helps students feel connected, supported, and eager to come to school? I’ve been paying close attention to the work Playworks is doing in this area, especially as more schools look for practical ways to improve attendance. Their...

Have you ever felt like a bad parent?

June 03, 2026 Have you ever felt like a bad parent, even when you were doing everything you could? I know that feeling. In the fall of 2018, a doctor told me, “I would have operated on your daughter six months ago.” Hearing that was devastating. My oldest daughter had been complaining about knee pain for several months. We took her to a specialist in Fairbanks and he said there was nothing wrong. But I knew there was. Eventually, we found a specialist in Anchorage, and he saw her, but he said...
