About The Learning Experience:​
Hosts Kelli Suding, Luis Pérez, and Bryan Dean bring powerful, practical conversations to every episode. They talk with educators, students, families, and inclusive education leaders about how to break down barriers and create more equitable learning experiences. CAST, the organization that pioneered Universal Design for Learning (UDL), produces the show and connects each episode to accessible, inclusive design.

Recent episodes feature Alexis Reid on executive functioning and AI, Carol Allen on UDL “across the pond,” and conversations on dismantling barriers for neurodivergent learners. You will hear real examples you can use in your own schools and districts.

Three easy ways to dive in:

• ​Start listening to The Learning Experience and bring one idea from the latest episode to your next team meeting
• Subscribe so new episodes on UDL, accessibility, and inclusive practice appear in your feed. Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube.
• Share the CAST podcast page with your leadership or coaching team and choose an episode to anchor an upcoming PD, PLC, or cabinet conversation
