Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Katy Johnson is our first guest from New Jersey, her friend calls her "the Lieutenant Dan of History Teachers". Katy and I discuss our mutual passion for the study of history and why we teach. Why is history important? What are the most rewarding and challenging parts about being a history teacher today? What do we love to read? And what's it mean to "hug a cactus?"
