Review of OLD SCHOOL Special

A pure delight. Katie Davis hosts an hour of material revolving around the teacher/student experience while contributing some lovely work of her own – as well as providing a slice of her own life. The program actually misted me up with a kind of double pride. One, because I’ll be going back to class at the university in a couple of weeks, and hope I don’t forget to keep trying to be the kind of teacher portrayed in two of the pieces; and secondly, I’m proud of my fellow producers being showcased here. These days, what with podcasting and audio blogging out there, audio production can be just about anything – which carries its own kind of immediacy and excitement, I don’t knock it. But this is so solid – I hope THIS brand of care and professionalism will never be thought of as Old School.
