About the Episode
In episode 82, Colin takes us on an early aughts adventure with education theorist Sugata Mitra. We learn about Sugata’s Hole in the Wall project, while Sierra blasts “Every Breath You Take” by The Police.
Tune in to hear about the trickle down effect of education, a wizard that smells like binary, and our new favorite game: “Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.”
