#178: Natural History Podcasts #6: GeogPod

GeogPod is the Geographical Association's Podcast, hosted by John Lyon - my former colleague at the Geographical Association.

He has been presenting this for eleven full seasons. 

The most recent episode, at the time of posting, is the seventieth episode.


In that time, John has spoken to a whole range of people, including me in episode #53. 

Several of these episodes have a connection with some of the likely themes within the new draft specification.

There is also a focus on curriculum in many of them, and how decisions about what and how to teach are made - relevant to the decisions that will need to be made about curriculum time, timetabling, sequencing lessons and how synopticity can be built in to the overall 'narrative' of the new subject. Some interesting decisions still need to be made.

The twelfth season has just started, and starts with an excellent episode on Chalk Streams.... more on that in the next post.
