    Pop Culture Playground: Game of Thrones Rewind and Reflect
    Oct 2 2025
    Think back to the last time you heard someone talking about Jon Snow, Danerys Targaryen, or Tyrion Lannister? Binge-watching the final season with your eyebrows permanently raised and wondering if you missed a PD session on plot twists? Maybe you were dodging spoilers like arrows at the Battle of the Bastards, or rewatching the Red Wedding to confirm that, yes, it was that traumatic. Or maybe you were listening to a trio of edu-podcasters drawing some fiery parallels between Westeros and the world of professional learning. Whatever the case may be, let's hop back on the dragon and soar into all the political intrigue, power plays, and unexpected character arcs of Game of Thrones—to revisit the connections we made back in 2021.

  • Pop Culture Playground Redux: Game of Thrones

    Pop Culture Playground Redux: Game of Thrones
    Sep 14 2025
    This rerun I’m bending the knee to one of our most iconic episodes: "Pop Culture Playground: Game of Thrones”, which originally aired June 17, 2021. Four winters (and summers) have come and gone, and this one still rules the realm. It’s my chosen favorite to revisit and share with my fellow Guildmates and listeners. Whether you're a seasoned dragon rider or a “sweet summer child”, give it a listen. Warning: side effects may include insight, inspiration, and the sudden urge to shout, “King in the North!” Because some episodes don’t just play the game—they win it.

  • Pop Culture Playground: What We Do In The Shadows Rewind & Reflect

    Pop Culture Playground: What We Do In The Shadows Rewind & Reflect
    Jul 7 2025
    We are now reflecting on one of our favorite offbeat mashups: that time we explored What We Do in the Shadows, the mockumentary about New Zealand or Staten Island’s most lovable vampire roommates. The movie and later developed TV show actually sucked us into some pretty powerful reflections on teaching and learning. From Colin Robinson’s energy vampire tendencies—to Laszlo’s chaotic charm and Nandor’s eternal quest for finding his why, we found ourselves asking: What does it really mean to lead, to learn, and to live… forever… in the classroom? So let’s take time unearthing What We Do in the Shadows of the classroom and see what’s changed since we last aired.
