Episodes 88 and 90

Episode 88 was recorded in class and serves as a first training model to help the course participants to get a grasp of the basics, of what is involved in podcast production.

Episode 90 (CENSORED) is a direct follow-up to the previously published episode 88 – and is a compilation of three conversations and one monolog on early -childhood education.  Topics include:

• The Transition Phase,
• The TikTok Hype
• Media Consumption Generally
• Dental Health in Children

---

The overall project associated with this course focusses on values and attitudes – and promises to explore many media forms such as audio-podcasting, photography, videography, text and even print production and webpage-building to name a few.

The project aims to emphasise, through hands-on involvement and co-creation so to speak – how these media forms can be used to enrich our message – as it relates to early-childhood education, and education as a whole.

“Medienpädagogik” is a term that featured prominently during the course – and is itself a diverse topic. The aim of these projects however was to encourage hands-on involvement in the co-creation process. To gather first-hand experience in coordination, team-work and challenges involved, in the final production of a media product that effectively enriches and transports our message  – as it relates to early-childhood education.

Those values and attitudes mentioned are as diverse as the contributors themselves – an attribute that that only serves to foster inclusiveness, relatability humanness of our discourse. Without further ado I’d like to express my gratitude to all the contributors – and cordially invite you to let yourself be inspired by the episodes.

Our esteemed first guest (episode 88) for this series of productions – is Ms Lilli Limonius, who qualifies her insight with a rich tapestry of stories and experiences that have helped to shape her career – and still drive her calling and professional practice as a teacher.

We go on to speak about some of the specific values and attitudes that help both teachers and students to succeed.  And finish off our 45-50 minute show, with some questions from the course participants on:

• The most important attitudes that strengthened her as a teacher,
• Quality checks and performance,
• Ai and its perceived threat to the teaching profession.

Episode 85

Ian Antonio Patterson again – coming to you for another extra ordinary episode. There are essentially three things that I want to say today – which include some important changes regarding how I do my shows also in response to the rise of Ai among other things, how you are invited to interact with the show, and last but by no means least an invitation to you to join me – on a most unusually uplifting, journey of discipline, and self-healing.

Episode 83

Fluency, Ai, Art and the Democratisation of the Learning Experience

Today’s episode looks at some of the things that make the essential difference, as we approach achieving a well-grounded feeling of confidence, sovereignty, and fluency using a foreign language. The episode today, in and of itself will show you, one way that uniquely defines the authentic lived human experience, as opposed to the artificial one. From the point of view of a well-practiced Educator – we will be looking at some of the things that may in fact help to differentiate us as human beings, working living and thriving – also within an Ai driven paradigm – but no worries Ai is not what the episode is about it’s about you.

Feelings feature prominently – again – not to be discounted because feelings form one aspect that will in fact help to differentiate us as human beings within what I call an Ai driven paradigm. I do hope you enjoy the episode, and if you like the somewhat more colourful, and even more inclusive flavour of “Life is Feeling – Counting the Ways” – do feel free to subscribe from anywhere.

As an added bonus for your troubles, there is a little JAMAICAN interpretation of this unusual twist just for you – right after the jingle.

Diversity is as Diversity does.

I put it to you personally – what image comes to mind when you hear words like diversity and inclusion? Did you realize that you can also quickly become a minority in many ways – one example is when you are the only one who speaks with a strange accent.

The English Coach Podcast is still about enriching the adult learning experience, in a fun and inclusive way – especially through featuring exemplary true to life conversations with real people and activities. Sometimes however the nature of the topics sidesteps the realm of adult education in the traditional sense, and for that reason I have also started “Life is Feeling – Counting the Ways” – that invites listeners to take a moment to be awake to the world, to explore diverse values attitudes and experiences, that help us to think more critically more inclusively – and to help us make better sense of life through different lenses.

“ism” schisms..

I love Independent Podcasting – that’s why I have been doing it since 2019.

If you are living in a place that allows you the freedom to share your voice globally – use it wisely. And use the media (and access) at hand to UPLIFT others. As an English trainer and a self-styled pragmatic student of human behaviour and the world – I can tell you that the need to address “diversity” as a thing and “inclusion” stems from “isims” of all kinds, that we create to express status, and entitlement to privilege and resources over others. Bob Marley aptly called them “isim schisms”. There are many such words, some of which I have also been known to carry around… Not so much any more. Any word ending with the suffix “ism” speaks to a willingness to exclude and disregard an entire ‘other’ group. That’s not what I am about here there or anywhere. (Follow-up series on “isms” in sister show – Life is Feeling – Counting the Ways – Series here)

Naturally we are all free to decide for ourselves what we are against, as I am mostly against all “isms” – but one thing that I am for is “equality” as an ideal – without the need to talk about it too much – but by simply living a reality that I imagine – that is why I run my shows the way I do.

Diversity is as Diversity does.

Guests featured on my shows are from – Jamaica, Germany, Sweden, Afghanistan, Netherlands, the Ukraine, UK, USA, Trinidad and Tobago, France, Russia, Canada, Ghana, India, the Philippines, Greece, North Korea, Guatemala, to name a few..

Professions featured, include Teachers, Coaches, Entrepreneurs of all flavour, Engineers, Medical Doctors, other Doctors, Students, Software developers, Musicians, Authors – the list goes on…

As you might have guessed – I am very proud of my shows, and I am happy to be able to share it with you. As usual, feel free to use the feedback channels that are available on both my show pages.
