Episode 30 is all about “Education in Fiction” and includes your hosts talking about some of their favorite (and least favorite) teachers in movies, shows, and books. This is a really fun episode! Chelsea shares the Cave Allegory from Plato’s Republic and breaks down parts of Émile by Jean Jacques Rousseau. Katie takes a stand in defense of 13 Reasons Why as she describes how it’s not a book/show that glorifies suicide, but rather a piece that really perfectly shows what guilt and trauma can look like in schools. Chelsea shares her love of Narnia and Katie breaks down all things Matilda and Miss Honey.
