I have been following Brown University Professor and Economist Emily Oster for a number of years, basically ever since I started my journey of becoming a parent. Now, I listen to her podcast and read her newsletters (and the newsletters from the endocrinologist on her team, called “Hot Flash”) to hear from Emily and experts on data-driven parenting. I also love listening to Emily talk about evidence-based decision making in a world where we don’t have all of the data we would want to make a “perfect” choice for our families. She also talks a lot about using data to inform your decision making, but that each individual or family may not make the same choice, and yet still can be making the best choice for them.
As you can see, I’m a big fan of Emily Oster, and the ParentData brand. And so, this week, I bring you a list of high-quality ParentData podcast episodes related to learning and/or kids in schools. I think that parents and teachers will find something to love from this list.
A couple notes about the links I’m providing. You can access the podcast on Emily’s website, ParentData, and I’m providing those links. However, each person only gets so many free reads (and accessing the podcast episodes on her website counts as a “read” because there is a full transcript available). So, I’m also providing the Apple Podcast links as well. You can get these podcasts wherever you get your podcasts, without a subscription. For example, I listen on Overcast, a free podcasting app. I’m also including publishing dates to make searching a little easier on apps like these. Happy listening!
