Minor Wisdom

Yet another interview from TETA. Mr. Jared Berry joined me for a great interview about his background and his passion for theatre education. Jared is arguably the biggest fan of Minor Wisdom (sorry Steward and Julio) so it was a must that I interviewed him so that the world could get to know one of the kindest individuals on this planet. Please consider purchasing a Minor Wisdom shirt.

It is always a bit more fun to have non-educators on the podcast that have a passion for helping educators. This week's interview, Eric Campbell from Techland sat down with me, in his own booth, at TETA, and discussed why he is so involved with educators and some Techland origins. Do not forget to purchase a shirt if you are looking for a fun color and the opportunity to support Minor Wisdom. @minorwisdompod

Go ASTROS!!! This week, I have Julio Morales on the podcast, as well as Danny George from The Growing Studio. Both interviews took place at TETA in the Techland booth. @minorwisdompod GET A SHIRT!!! Save The Drama Minor Wisdom

Another week of content from TETA. On this episode, I sat down with the Texas legend, Jim Rambo. Many Texas educators know him from TETA and from UIL but his wisdom reaches beyond the classroom.  

Rebecca Lowrey is the Dallas area Accounts Manager for Romeo Music and an extremely knowledgable theatre professional. This particular conversation focuses on wireless microphones and the train-wreck that is wireless frequencies in the fine arts.  Thank you to some of the Waco ISD teachers that allowed me to put a mic in their face and all of the teachers on future episodes that will be featured. @minorwisdompod on Twitter Minor Wisdom on Facebook

Jason Duga is a middle school theatre teacher with an extensive background as a professional actor as well as an arts integration specialist. His perspective on education and theatre education is unique because he actually enjoys teaching elementary and middle school kids.  @minorwisdompod Follow on everything and leave a 5-star review.

I knew I wanted to talk to Dusty about his time in Scotland with the Fringe Festival. I was scheduled to attend the festival as well, but because of lack of follow-through from promised funding, we had to cancel our experience. Therefore, through the power of the pod, I was able to live vicariously through Dusty and ESD's experience.  @minorwisdompod on Twitter and Instagram Minor Wisdom on Facebook Please consider purchasing a shirt to help those in need in the Bahamas.

Lynn Murray is a former UIL State Director, amongst many honorable titles. He made a bit of time for me one day and I was honored to get to know just a little bit about a longtime Texas theatre legend. @minorwisdompod Purchase a shirt and help those in need in the Bahamas. Please leave a good review.

This week, Chapter Director for Texas Thespians, Amy Jordan, is on the podcast. Although this alienates a lot of listeners outside of Texas, the reality is that the majority of Minor Wisdom's listeners are Texas based.  Please consider purchasing a Minor Wisdom shirt to help support this podcast.  Follow on Twitter, Facebook and leave a 5-star review on all pod platforms.

This week I had lunch with Chuck Harris (and his wife) at Royer's Round Top Cafe. Chuck has been there and done that from teaching elementary school all the way to high school. And, with his background in band, he brings a unique perspective to the world of theatre. Please consider purchasing a shirt to support the adventurous interview setting. A teacher's salary can only make so many trips across the state for quality interviews. Thank you!!! @minorwisdompod iTunes, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Spotify  

Matt Ludlam joined me via Skype this week. Check-out some of his swag at https://ludlamdramatics.com/ Make sure to stop by and see him at TETA, Thespians, and TTEC. This week's What Fine Arts Means to Me is from Mr. Erich Lane of Dear White People fame. Help out Minor Wisdom by purchasing a shirt so that these interviews can take place face-to-face rather than via Skype or cell phone. The quality of the interviews doubles when there is a face-to-face connection with some of the amazing educators that have agreed to come on the pod. minorwisdompod@gmail.com Follow on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

This week I sat down with Steward Savage. (If you read these, you know that this is version 2.0 of the episode.) 

Steward is my number one, maybe number two fan, which means I had to have him on the podcast. He would not tell you, but it is well known that he sees the world through a different set of eyes than most of us. It was a joy to get to know Steward a little better and cement a friendship. Also, thank you to Elissa Rinehart for sending in her blurb about what fine arts education meant to her. Also also, listen at the end of the podcast to Jay Thomas for some tips and dates you need to be aware of as a UIL director. Send in your blurbs to minorwisdompod@gmail.com.

Mandy Conner spent some time on her way from Waco to Houston to give me an interview that focused on her own writing, craftiness, and some of her ways of managing all that she accomplishes. Please consider sending a 60 second clip of what fine arts education means to you. @minorwisdompod minorwisdompod@gmail.com iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Google

H. Russ Brown is not just a huge fan of Captain America but he can also teach you how to fight Captain America and talk to him with funny voices! I had a great time getting to know H while endulging in some BBQ.
