The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we’re taking you back to the hallowed (and occasionally horrifying) halls of academia as we relive our own scholarly mishaps and unpack your most unhinged school stories. We’re talking passy-aggressy teachers, oversharers who may have violated HIPAA, and the kind of classroom chaos that probably should’ve involved a lawyer.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/622Become a Friends with Benefots for only $1.20!
