I had never formally met Dr. Stevens before this interview, and boy and I glad I was able to spend an hour with him! He was a superb interview and I know you will enjoy this week's episode. @mrblakeminor @minorwisdompod minorwisdompod@gmail.com

Aaron is an assistant professor at Sam Houston State University but might be best know, at this point, for being one half of a dynamic duo from Dawson High School. Aaron is full of great energy and has such a fun personality that comes through in this interview. Enjoy. @mrblakeminor minorwisdompod@gmail.com

I do not get to interview college educators very often, but with Jessica a few weeks ago, and now Kelly Russell this week, I am starting to really enjoy getting to know a bit about that side of academia. I hope you enjoy as well. @mrblakeminor @minorwisdompod minorwisdompod@gmail.com

I have wanted to interview Dr. Allen for quite some time now. This one does not disappoint. @minorwisdompod @mrblakeminor minorwisdompod@gmail.com

Jessica is the head of the Summer MA program for educators at the University of Houston and is KILLING it. What "it" is, I do not know, but I do know that the program is one of the hottest and best in the country. I had a great time chatting with her and I hope you enjoy. @mrblakeminor @minorwisdompod minorwisdompod@gmail.com

Enjoy an interview with one of the kindest and tallest theatre directors this side of the Mississippi! @mrblakeminor @minorwisdompod minorwisdompod@gmail.com

In preparation for virtual Thespian Festival, I wanted to get BK Goodman on to discuss some of the changes that directors will experience as the festival is rolled out.  I also might have some opinions at the beginning of this podcast that may or may not go over well with some of my listeners. @minorwisdompod @mrblakeminor minorwisdompod@gmail.com

Maggie Boos was a recommendation from Señor Steward Savage and a great recommendation at that. I will send you your percentage if this podcast has more than 1000 downloads. Enjoy this super awesome fantastic chat with Maggie Boos!!! @mrblakeminor @minorwisdompod minorwisdompod@gmail.com

Annie Dragoo is someone I have wanted to get on the podcast for some time now. She and her husband, Billy, host their own podcast entitled Afterpiece, which is geared towards helping theatre teachers be better in the classroom and after school, managing their departments. Also check out their collective website, www.educationaltheatreconsultants.com/ and Annie's personal site, www.anniedragoo.com.  Please check out my website too, while you're browsing sites, blakeminor.com. @mrblakeminor minorwisdompod@gmail.com

Katie Cross, Mayde Creek High School's theatre teacher, joined me for a fun chat where we discussed things. That's sort of the theme of all my podcasts. Enjoy. @mrblakeminor minorwisdompod@gmail.com

I have been waiting to get Perry Crafton on the podcast for almost a year! We chatted about his interview when we were supposed to be listening to Dr. Ivins speak at TETA back in 2019. Finally, the stars aligned and we were able to have a nice chat!   Check out blakeminor.com, @mrblakeminor on Twitter, and become my friend on Facebook.

John has not been a theatre teacher for very long but has already made such an impact in the state of Texas and especially in Region 4. Check out www.johngrimmett.com to find out more about him. @mrblakeminor @minorwisdompod blake.minor@gmail.com blakeminor.com

I have a lot of anxiety about what is on the horizon. Are we returning to school or not? My opinion means nothing so I asked Mandi Tapia to join me so that you could get two useless opinions in one podcast!  We do discuss quite a bit and even have a few "solutions" to what could be the inevitable American future.  @mrblakeminor on Twitter blake.minor@gmail.com blakeminor.com

Ramina is well known for just being straight-up FUN! She is now the head director at Hebron High School in north Texas. Apologies for the poor internet quality at some points but it is what it is. Follow me on Facebook or Twitter (@mrblakeminor) or check out blakeminor.com for a ton of information. Need some voiceover work done? Give me a shout and we can chat about your project.

It's exciting to interview directors and Texas theatre educators but it is even more exciting to interview talented and successful products of Texas theatre education. Get to know a little bit about Greg Graham and his 2+ decades of success on the Broadway stage and beyond! @minorwisdompod @mrblakeminor minorwisdompod@gmail.com
