The Power of Fun with Dave Raymond, aka the Original Phillie Phanatic 43:21

29d ago43:21

43:21

In Philadelphia, one figure who needs absolutely no introduction is the Phillie Phanatic, the team mascot who is as iconic in these parts as Dr. J, Ben Franklin, or Rocky Balboa. Beyond being a key fixture of Phillies' home games, the Phanatic shows up at playgrounds, schools, hospitals and all kinds of special events with one purpose: to bring hap…

Talking About Grief With Counselor Samantha Anthony 42:02

2M ago42:02

42:02

Philadelphia is awash in grieving children and families. But it’s not all bad news, because where there are serious problems, there are humans at work on serious solutions. In my years as a classroom teacher, I saw many organizations try to help students with problems like grief. Rarely did I see an immediate impact — that is, until I observed the …

Coming of Age in the City of Brotherly Love with Semaj H. 31:01

2M ago31:01

31:01

I’ve been obsessed with coming-of-age stories since I first read “A Catcher in the Rye” when I was in seventh grade. That obsession is probably what made me feel entirely at home when I became a ninth grade English teacher. There is very little that moves me more than hearing people grapple in language with themselves and society during that short …

American Dreaming with Yakquelin Garduño 31:16

3M ago31:16

31:16

I often say that my favorite thing about being a classroom writing teacher was my access to stories. It was enriching to me as a teacher and as a human being to learn about my students' lives through their stories. And I learned a lot about issues in society by hearing the same kind of stories over and over again. One issue that came through to me …

Resisting and Resting with Liz Wesley 28:38

3M ago28:38

28:38

My close friend and colleague Liz Wesley knows what it’s like to fight for fairness in a profoundly unfair world. She battled her way through the education system as a child only to find herself up against some of the same forces of inequity as a teacher in Philadelphia's highly segregated public school system. Always a social justice warrior, Liz …

Fighting for Children’s Rights with LuQman Abdullah 27:18

4M ago27:18

27:18

LuQman Abdullah caught my attention when I read his commentaries on gun violence in the Philadelphia Citizen. He emphasized something that had become evident to me through my work as a classroom teacher: Young people are not being heard. Now maybe that’s always been the case. Maybe American adults have perennially dismissed the voices of children. …

Riding the Trolley with Soup Davis 28:37

4M ago28:37

28:37

I am an obsessive people-watcher. Which is one of the reasons working in a school never-got old for me. Schools are full of people and stories. When I started the podcast, I thought about other workplaces that allow for good people-watching, and public transportation came to mind. Bus drivers, train conductors, transit workers — they all see an inc…

Reflecting on Season 1 with Pat Cooper 29:42

8M ago29:42

29:42

On paper, Maureen Boland and Pat Cooper might seem like unlikely friends. They come from very different backgrounds and have had totally disparate life experiences. Maureen was Pat’s high school teacher years ago. But as deeply curious people, interested in complex matters of the heart and mind, they’ve found many threads of connection between them…

Food for Thought from Mighty Writers in Kennett Square 32:16

10M ago32:16

32:16

Kennett Square, PA, aka the Mushroom Capital of the World, is about an hour south of Philadelphia. Fully half of the U.S. gets its mushrooms from Kennett Square, and the majority of people who make that happen, often in substandard working and living conditions, are migrant farmworkers from Mexico, Central America and Venezuela. Today we speak with…

Meeting Jane Wong in Atlantic City 39:21

Kirkus called Jane Wong’s debut memoir about her childhood in Atlantic City “a generous, steaming stew of a book loaded with personality and originality and sprinkled with the fiery chili of rage.” In this episode we talk to Wong about structuring a memoir, writing about family, marginalized history and generational healing. The Mighty Writers Podc…

In January, Yale psychology professor Laurie Santos adapted her popular “Science of Well-Being” course for teen audiences.

Sinking with Joseph Earl Thomas 30:40

“A brilliant and fucking fearless debut.” That’s what acclaimed author Carmen Maria Machado said about “Sink” by Joseph Earl Thomas — and that was just the beginning of the raves, from Kiese Laymon to the New York Times. In this episode, we speak with Thomas about his brutal and wrenching memoir, and what it means to thrive when you’re living a lif…
