Manage episode 425510811 series 3351651
Join us for the preview episode of Season 2 of ‘Digging for the Why’ where we explore the deeper questions behind mathematics education.
In this episode, we’ll glimpse into what listeners can expect from the upcoming season.
We welcome a special guest and the third wheel of the DFTW tricycle, Sam, who provides her unique perspective as a non-mathematician and offers her insight into the editing process of the podcast.
Meet our Guest:
Sam handles all things branding and design at MEI. Whilst not classing herself as a mathematician, she is passionate about education and has a background in teaching. Sam edits all our podcast episodes and has a comprehensive understanding of what we do. We thought we’d get her on so she can discuss her thoughts on Season 2.
