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.

In this episode, we’re giving you a quick but rich dive into two very different moments in American history. First, we’ll revisit Paul Revere’s legendary midnight ride—what really happened, the myths versus the facts, and why his ride became such a powerful symbol of resistance.

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?"

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
