This week your Castologists pay tribute to teaching and learning with our education-themed week. Liz gets her word nerd on with The Allusionist. Then it’s lecture time with Nick and TED Talks Education. And Zane brings a podcast to inspire passion in teaching professionals with For The Love Of Teaching. Then it’s reviews time, baby!

Liz Recommends - The Allusionist

https://www.theallusionist.org/

Helen Zaltzman channels her logophilia into a funny and educational podcast that explores the English language and lexicon

taking listeners on a deep dive into language. While the subject matter could sound dry, in Zaltzman’s hands, it’s not. The show is filled with good humor and a great deal of levity to make one of the funniest and educational podcasts around.

Zaltzman is also one of hosts of the wildly popular and long-running podcast Answer Me This!, which has been answering questions from listeners since 2007.

Description

For Both: pick a word that you’re interested in. I liked Nightmare and Ghostwriter.

You can also download these and many other videos free on TED.com, with an interactive English transcript and subtitles in up to 80 languages.
