🎙️ What are people saying about the podcast?

  • “Every episode has gold in it - no matter who the guest or what their topic is. All the guests are inspiring and passionate, bringing a new perspective not just on teaching but life in general. Even after 25 years of teaching I have been inspired and challenged to step back and reflect on what I think and do to be a more efficient, effective and knowledgeable teacher and leader. I’d highly recommend this podcast to ALL teachers regardless of how long they have been teaching. Thank you!”

  • “This podcast is fantastic - encouraging, informative, inspiring and empowering for educators. Mathew interviews all guests with genuine interest, care and curiosity. Highly recommend listening with a notebook nearby as there’s always something profound to remember in each episode.”

  • "Wow! What a lineup of guests! Teachers and all those in the world of education will be inspired and challenged by the range of topics and the voices behind them. Well done on finding teacher voices and making them available for listeners.”

  • "I highly recommend this podcast for anyone in education, teachers and administrators alike. It explores not only the practice of teaching but also the philosophy behind what we do. After listening to a number of episodes I walked away inspired and with practical tools I was excited to implement in the classroom.”

  • As a parent, it has been interesting listening to Mathew interview professionals from all around the whole who shape the education system for the next generation. The media rarely focuses on the positive aspects of teaching so it is refreshing to hear from those passionate in helping teachers not only start well but remain engaged - those that might end up in the classroom teaching my kids.

  • "I've had the pleasure of being a guest on The Art of Teaching Podcast twice, and each experience has been incredibly rewarding. Mat Green, the host, consistently brings rich, thought-provoking questions to the table, demonstrating his genuine care for our young people, including his own family. His dedication to exploring the nuances of teaching and learning makes every episode a valuable listen for educators and parents alike. Highly recommended!”
