Beyond The Venue with MG Hodge, Host & Future PhD
Hello! I'm MG, host of Beyond the Venue Podcast and a hospitality professional turned academic. I started this podcast in the Spring of 2021 to elevate stories from my friends in the hospitality and entertainment world whose careers and businesses were impacted by the pandemic. Season 2 features several of my colleagues from the hospitality and event industry, as well as teachers and professors from a variety of disciplines. I interview other podcast hosts, storytellers, bartenders, parents, and everything in between! After wrapping up the recording of Season 2, I returned to the classroom as an adjunct professor in the College of Education and Human Development at Temple University. This would help me create Season 3, for which I used clips from my students' podcast project (with their permission of course!). After completing my first year of my doctoral program this past year, I decided the summer of 2024 was the perfect time to wrap up this podcast with an inside look into life in higher education. Starting Friday, August 30th, 2024, we will be releasing episodes of our 4th and final season. Season 4 includes interviews with my fellow doctoral students, as well as a variety of other folks from the "academy". Qualitative research is all about sharing stories and lived experiences, and that's what I've tried to do over the last 3 years through this podcast. Thanks for listening!

Temple University’s mascot is the owl, and my guest this week is the math queen, my friend Katherine. We met in our Qualitative Analysis class that I took in the Spring of 2023, while I was still teaching as an adjunct, before I started my doctoral program full-time. We would go on to have several classes together each semester. Our friendship is a prime example of where I have found myself - surrounded by folks from completely different life paths but coming together to form a community and learn and grow from one another. For anyone curious about what life is like as a life-long student, lover of math, and engaged marrier who is planning a wedding while in grad school, this episode is for you!
Additional Topics Include:
- Sometimes We Have to go to Plan C, or D, or E
- SMET vs STEM
- What is Developmental Math?
- Content Creation for Fun
- You Can Always Off-Ramp
- The Lack of a Third Space
