We launched [*The Education Insider Podcast with PRP *](https://www.prp.group/the-education-insider-podcast?)mainly because we like to chat, but also because we wanted another way to connect with the education and edtech industry. The past couple years have led to massive upheavals in America’s schools, and we want to help you navigate those changes by sharing our conversations with a wide variety of guests.  [![The Education Insider (11)](https://www.prp.group/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/The%20Education%20Insider%20(11).png?width=352&name=The%20Education%20Insider%20(11).png)](https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-education-insider) So far, our podcast hosts (yours truly and Jacob Hanson, our CEO and noted speed talker) [have spoken with district leaders from Meriden Public Schools](https://www.prp.group/blog/teacher-swaps-combined-classes-and-staffing-resignations-have-changed-the-edtech-marketplace); edtech consultant and unrivaled trivia night host Carl Hooker; and Jackie Mader, early education reporter and multimedia editor for *The Hechinger Report*.  We plan to keep up this sort of variety. The goal is to have a casual, sometimes funny conversation that ultimately delivers practical advice that you can act on right after you listen. So one episode might be about how offering free prod ucts to schools doesn’t make that much of an impact anymore, while the next might cover how to pitch (and how NOT to pitch) a national education publication. And this is not a teaser for something that’s coming in summer 2023. You can listen to our first few episodes [here](https://www.prp.group/the-education-insider-podcast). If you like what you hear, please follow us and share your favorite episode with your friends and colleagues. And if you know of a great guest, please let us know, because we’re always ready to chat!
