School Stories
School Stories is a podcast about creative people and their relationships with school. I interview friends, colleagues, and strangers about how school did – or did not – support their growth as a creative person. We discuss how school informs who we become in unexpected ways, and what we wish for education moving forward. At School Stories, we know that our identities are wrapped up in our schooling experiences, and we’re eager to learn from those experience so we can do better for creative kids everywhere, because we know creative kids are all kids.
