Back to School Again enrols as a member

backtoschoolagain-banner.jpg

Back to School Again is back, this time as a full-fledged member of the Alberta Podcast Network!

We had the opportunity last fall to help get this podcast about mid-life learning launched and into the ears of the right listeners. Now, as Back to School Again enters its second season, it joins our other member podcasts in the education and self-help space.

As a member, the podcast will now run ads, but otherwise, nothing will change. It still features inspiring and interesting interviews with a wide variety of mid-life learners, as well as host Katrina Ingram’s reflections on her own journey back to the classroom.

You can get a sense of what Season 2 has to offer in this trailer. The season launches on Sept. 17, and episodes will come out every two weeks after that.

In the meantime, read Katrina’s blog post for International Podcast Month on how podcasting helped her get over her back-to-school anxiety. And read her views on the educational value of podcasting in this piece from MacEwan University, where she contributed to a podcast called Artful Conversations.

You can subscribe to Back to School Again in all of the usual places, and follow it on Twitter and Facebook.
