Chad Lehrmann Authorcast
Tackling issues in culture, education, independent authorship, and the occasional urban legend, this podcast has it all. Chats with Chad segments are more lighthearted and fun discussions of things going in his author and teaching journeys. Didactic Cafe segments are dealing with ethical and moral issues in education and the world in general. Culture Cuts feature book and movie reviews as well as diving into cultural controversies and touchstones of the moment. And finally, Urban Legends Unmasked look at local and state legends from around the United states, and the lessons (or warnings) they have for us.
