About
In EnhanceTV’s podcasts, we interview a range of educators about different aspects of teaching with TV. The interviews are 5-10 minutes long and aim to give practical advice, experienced insight, as well as raise awareness of issues. Filmmakers are also interviewed about their program and how it relates to the educators. The podcast music, "Scrabble"is courtesy of The Expert Sleepers. Interviews are conducted by Georgia Blain.
Your input
We welcome your suggestions for topics, interviewees (especially if you have “connections”!), and invite you to pose questions for upcoming interviews. All these discussions are made in the EnhanceTV Community forum.
