Producer Jess
Creating Belonging
Are you ready to go back to school? More importantly, are you ready to get back to education and learning? Dr. Johnny and Producer Jess talk about all it takes to get back into a learning space where each learner feels valued, respected, and ready to participate. Dr. Johnny walks us through the most important steps in preparing to lead a class: checking in on yourself as the teacher. He shares some of the rituals and texts that help him start school sessions on a strong foot. Centrally, he focuses on reviewing the Rights of the Child and those good core democratic values we highlight every day on Busted Pencils.

Thank goodness it’s Friday, that’s nothing trivial!
Goodness this week passed in a blink, and yet we covered SO MUCH! Thank goodness it's Busted Pencils Friday, when we get to break it down. This week, we soaked in the radical joy that returned to politics with the Harris-Walz ticket. We talked professional ethics- this week's anchoring lesson from On Tyranny- from classroom to boardroom to situation room. And today we get Tim's Trivia, delivered in a riddle... sort of... Plus, a new lesson from from the 20th Century to focus our thoughts next week.

Being Human as a Human Being (things are important) (Hour 2)
Being a living creature conscious of being alive is downright spooky some times. So, we tell stories. We tell stories about the things that are important. Whether that's through music, or food, or religion, it's all storytelling. And it's all important. So tell your stories, and keep room to hear others' stories as well. And y'know, maybe that way we can be a little bit better as people.

The Stories We Tell (Hour 1)
Maggie's away, and Fancy Bryan is on the host side with Jess on the board. Today we're talking narratives. Stories. Storytelling unites us as humans as often as it divides us. But let's focus on the uniting part for today, yeah? Whatever material "truth" exists, the stories we tell about that truth prevails- however we interpret the truth. Now that can work to benefit us all. Oooorrrr it can bring people down. We talk stories: political narratives, music, food, and good old conversation. We're joined by several regulars and groove to some very unique songs.

Thank you President Biden. What’s next?
President Biden, thank you for being a patriot and modeling the power of humility in choosing to end your re-election campaign. Your choice to embrace change and listen to the voices of your constituents is democracy in action.
So, now what? Are you feeling energized by Biden's decision to step down, opening the field for democracy to be in action? Dr. Tim and Producer Jess sure are! Are you feeling confused or concerned about what comes next? Well, Dr. Tim is briefly returning to his former life as Mr. Slekar, social studies teacher, to bring you answers.
