Who am I?
My name is Eric Anderson and I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I work as a Communications Leader but used to be a CBC Radio journalist and high school teacher. For the past five years, I have hosted, produced and edited a podcast called YXE Underground. It features people who are making a difference in my community but are flying under the radar. I was 24 when I started teaching high school and it was a steep learning curve. I struggled with the workload and planning involved and would have appreciated a podcast or two that could have helped me in the day to day preparation.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
YXE Underground features interviews with people who are making a difference in Saskatoon but are flying under the radar. In my five seasons of YXE Underground, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing several teachers. I think the work teachers are doing in their classrooms deserves to be recognized and celebrated.
What is my podcast playlist about?
I wanted to choose podcasts that could offer young teachers insights into their professions and let them know that they are not alone in the challenges they are facing.

Welcome to iGen introduces listeners to a unique educational program in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. iGen, which is short for intergenerational program, is a partnership between Sherbrooke Community Centre (a long term care home) and the Saskatoon Public School Division that sees 25 grade six students from across Saskatoon spend their school year learning with and from the residents of Sherbrooke.
