Twisted Teachers

What would you do if you weren't afraid? Jen and Kim are long-time friends who started the podcast from the perspective of two teachers and their experiences in education. The podcast has evolved through countless interviews with current and former educators as well as authors. You will still hear their teaching tips and stories, but you also will follow them on their journey through new chapters in their lives.

Hello Twisted Listeners!
In this episode, Jen and Kim talk about the history of education. They start with the one-room schoolhouse  (with a digression about Pa from Little House on the Prairie) and end up with current-day education. They have anecdotes that may or may not have anything to do with the topic. The question is "Have schools ever put the needs of children first?"
Stay Twisted!

First, we unravel the terrifying spree of the "Son of Sam," a notorious serial killer who terrorized New York City in the 1970s. Then, we journey back to explore the haunting story of Alice Kyteler, the so-called "Witch of Kilkenny," whose trial in 14th-century Ireland led to one of the most infamous witch hu...

Jen and Kim are back with the Twisted Teachers Podcast. They catch up with their lives. Kim talks about the bad funeral mole, and they are remiss that they missed the Jen and Ben divorce drama. 
They also have a new perspective. Yes, education is challenging right now, but teachers need support. So, TTP will be hearing from teachers in the field to work on anecdotes to the toxins in education. 
STAY TWISTED!

This is the last episode of our beloved Twisted Teachers podcast. We have had a wonderful run for three years, and it is time to move on. Please follow us on the GEN-X With a Twist podcast. It will still be hosted by Jen and Kim, but there won't be a focus on education. We will have Gen-X with a twist of true crime, Gen-X with a twist of a book talk, Gen-X with a twist of nostalgia, and Gen-X wi...

Here's a throwback for the last day of April. The countdown to the end of school begins!

They relate to the lady who ran her car into a Popeyes restaurant because they forgot the biscuits. They discuss whether or not teachers shoul...

We really liked this book!

Meghan, Brecia, and Skye have just one thing in common.

They were all murdered by the same man.


He hunted them online, masquerading as an eligible bachelor. Then he played the perfect gentleman, a thick layer of charm and a thousand-watt smile hiding the fact that his first dates end in shallow graves.

He’s gotten away with murder three times now.

This one's a doozy!! Jen gives her an incredibly, funny, very good,  twisted take on a famous children's book. Kim drags us all through the circles of hell where she and Jen find some uncanny similarities to the levels of hell at work.  They continue their tales of projects gone wrong with glue gun safety issues, Blooms Ball busts, smelly recyclables, and card box towns painted...
