Ep. 23: All The Smoke Featuring Dr. Charles Cole & Dr. Keith Benson Jul 30, 2019

Show notes

This episode originally appeared on Ray's podcast, the Edupurist podcast. In honor of Charles' birthday, we have decided to re-broadcast this episode. The birth of this episode came from a twitter disagreement, in which two sides of a passionate argument (Keith and Charles) came together to discuss educational issues from their perspective. It was a powerful episode-- and we wanted to share it with the listeners. Please listen and share with the hashtag #HowAreTheChildren! And don't forget to wish Charles a Happy B-Day!
