3 months!

8/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Hi all, we are about to celebrate 3 months! Wow. I'm thankful for all your support. Pedagogue wouldn't exist without you, and I mean that from the depths of my heart. I'm incredibly thankful -- and wish I could thank each one of you individually for listening and sharing and commenting on the podcast. 

I've been thinking back to how this whole thing started:

April 2019.
​I was driving back to Mississippi from Texas listening to a podcast.
I was thinking about how much I enjoyed talking with teachers about teaching and listening to stories and experiences.
How I always left those conversations inspired. 
How I always learned something from them.
How I enjoyed meeting new people, new teachers.  
I said to M, "What do you think about me creating a podcast about teachers talking about teaching and writing? You know, where I just ask questions? Do you think I could do something like that?"
M: "Yes." 
S: "Really?"
M: "For sure. You love teaching. And you love talking to people. So I don't see why not."

​That was that. I came up with the name Pedagogue minutes later and sent out a tweet asking if people would be interested in listening to something like that.

The response was amazing.
​
​So I started doing stuff. 
Built a site. 
Made a logo.
Got recording software/equipment. 
Tracked my guitar for the opening/endings of episodes. 
Sent an email to a few distinguished teachers-scholars I didn't know.
Mike Rose responded. 

All of that in 1-2 weeks.

​Almost 3 months later.
​I'm writing this post about Pedagogue.
​Still amazed. Still surprised. 

Almost 3 months later.
​People have contacted me about being on the podcast. People have reached out to me about writing a blog post. There was this and this, too.

I've talked with over 15 teachers. I've released 5 episodes and 1 bonus episode. The site has had close to 3,000 unique viewers and 7,500 page views. 

So to celebrate 3 months -- I'm releasing another bonus episode on Friday, 08/09.
Pedagogue Bonus: Advice to First-Time Teachers (w/Nancy Sommers)

​​Please keep listening and sharing and commenting. The only reason Pedagogue is here almost 3 months later is because you helped it be here. 

Encouraged, 
-S
