Customer Reviews
Thought Provoking!
I love this podcast. I work in higher education, and it's encouraging to hear different ideas about what the future of higher ed might look like. This podcast is a great mix of vision, concrete ideas and implementation, and thought-provoking suggestions. I don't always agree with the conclusions or approaches, but it's good to be challenged. Looking forward to more!
great theme
This is a great idea for a podcast — I look forward to seeing who else they come up with for subjects. So much potential here, and great to see the Chronicle digging in to the future of higher ed and who’s creating it in an engaging, interesting, experimental way.
