The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast

Jennifer Gonzalez has been quietly building one of the most useful resources in education for over a decade, and The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast is the audio arm of that mission. With over 300 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from nearly 2,500 reviews, this show has become a go-to for teachers who want to get better at their craft without sitting through another stale professional development session. The format mixes things up nicely. Some episodes are quick 7-minute EduTips you can absorb on a coffee break. Others run past an hour, featuring deep conversations with teachers, administrators, students, and researchers. Gonzalez recently explored inquiry-based freewriting, how to discuss difficult topics in the classroom, and support strategies for neurodivergent teachers — topics that other education podcasts rarely touch. What keeps people coming back is Gonzalez's ability to make pedagogical ideas feel accessible and immediately useful. She has a knack for interviewing guests in a way that pulls out the practical bits. You finish an episode and think, "I could try that tomorrow morning." The companion website at cultofpedagogy.com has written articles and resources for nearly every episode, so you can go deeper if something resonates. This is a bimonthly show, which gives each episode room to breathe. If you teach — at any level — this podcast probably belongs in your rotation.
