Crying in My Car Podcast: A Podcast for Teachers
Two comedians, one a former teacher, riff on the week's wildest education news and the absurdities of the teaching profession.
This is a comedy chatcast for burned-out teachers, serving as a weekly pressure-release valve. The hosts, a former teacher and a parent, find humor in the trenches of the education system, discussing everything from wild news stories about teachers faking PhDs to the physical toll of chaperoning a field trip. It's less about pedagogical theory and more about commiserating over shared frustrations with parents, administrators, and the bizarre realities of the job, all through a comedic lens.
“The show's key distinction is its dual-host dynamic, pairing a veteran teacher-turned-comedian (Devin) with a comedian-and-parent (James). This allows them to cover stories from both inside and outside the classroom perspective. As part of the Bored Teachers network, it shares a specific comedic sensibility focused squarely on the teaching experience.”
