Play The 5-Minute Game Show along with Loui and see if you can do as well as she did, cause she slayed it!
My special thanks to Loui and to my fauxmercail helpers Tuvia and Yossie Frankel. I also want to thank all of the wonderful guests and fauxmercial actors that have contributed so very much these last 2 years (check them all out on the previous 54 episodes!). And a big shout out to Distant Cousins, the band behind my theme song and Casey Arrillaga for his The 5-Minute Game Show theme music.

Clement Townsend: Media Arts Help Students Inform, Inspire and Impact
My guest on this episode is Clement Townsend who helps schools and teachers integrate media arts into their programs and lessons. In this time of media saturation, using media arts as a means for learning is even more important. Clement and I discuss how we can integrate media arts into all subjects. We also talk about how to help students tell stories, including their own, to inform, inspire and impact the world around them.
At the end of the interview, I subjected Clement to one of the hardest The 5-Minute Game Shows ever. And he did well!
I want to thank my special guest Clement and the people that helped on my fauxmercial – Yossie Frankel and William Mealey from The Unprofessional Development podcast and his awesome wife Lindy. By the way, look for an upcoming episode of Overthrowing Education with Mealey and his podcast partner, Christopher Tudisco.

Charles Williams: Challenging and Changing Current Narratives in Education
In this episode, veteran educator and podcast host Charles Williams and I have a great conversation about the work we need to do to create true equity in education and the importance of challenging our current narratives. We also talk about problematic intrinsic biases that we all have and how to change them. Even though the topics we discuss are serious and important, along with all the practical ideas, we do get very silly (and not just on The 5-Minute Game Show, although he slays his food themed game show!).
Special thanks to Charles and to my fauxmercial helpers Yossie Frankel and the wonderfully talented Linda Korn for writing and singing the original Paradigm Shifters jingle that I borrowed.
