About this episode

ITP - 156 Welcome to the Canadian Podcast special, with our guests, The Stunt Brothers. In this episode, Greg and JP talk with Roy and Martin, hosts of After the Bell, a Canadian education podcast thankfully free of wrestling promos, folding chairs, and questionable spandex. With more than 70 years of combined teaching experience, Roy and Martin share how they found their way into education, from geology and Japan to classrooms in British Columbia, while digging into teacher identity, classroom culture, local theatre, pantomime, admin near-misses, food insecurity, school technology, work-life balance, and why laughter still matters in education. This conversation is a cross-podcast celebration of teaching, travel, Canadian-ness, airport security stories, and the strange magic that happens when experienced educators keep talking after the bell.Their Podcast Link:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-bell/id1539877242Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/941827558047720Their Website:  https://stuntbrothers.ca/ -more information- The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.
