11 – School Hard: It Was the Worst of Times

In this episode of Not Without My Sister, we take a walk down memory lane and discuss our secondary school experiences. Beatrice's seemed largely (if you'll excuse the pun) around her great stature and a traumatic P.E. experience, while Rosemary was more preoccupied with boys (shocker) and why her teachers didn't want to be her best friends.There are a lot of references, weirdly, in this episode – perhaps because it's about education. Who knows! Anyway, in case anything piqued your interest . . .Dr Tomas Chamarro Premuzic's TED Talk (again)Dr Death on Wondery (again!)Joe Rogan – the episode we listened to, FYI, was this one.
