Conversations with people doing the work: piloting programs, reworking old systems, replacing broken ones, and sharing real stories and outcomes.
We're building the podcast now. The format: one guest, one system, one conversation. People who are piloting programs, reworking old approaches, forming unexpected partnerships, and replacing systems that no longer work—sharing what they did, what happened, and what others can learn.
Want to know when the first episode drops? Subscribe to the Unsystematic Notes—we'll announce it there first.
Get the NotesPodcasts on Unsystematic are conversations with people doing the work: piloting programs, reworking old systems, replacing broken ones, and sharing real stories and outcomes.
Not panels. Not punditry. Not abstract debates. Real practitioners talking about what they tried, what happened, and what they'd do differently.
Each episode picks a specific system and follows one person's experience rebuilding it. Grounded, not abstract.
Every guest is someone who has piloted, reworked, or replaced the thing they're talking about. Real experience, not commentary.
Every episode pairs with a blog post—so you leave with both the story and something you can put to use.
We're looking for people with specific, first-hand stories about rebuilding education systems in practice. Teachers who reworked a broken process. Administrators who replaced a failing program. Evaluators who changed the questions they ask. Parents who organized something that worked.
If that sounds like someone you know—or like you—drop us a note. Tell us what system they know well and why their story would be worth hearing.
A short weekly drop from the field: what's breaking, what's being rebuilt, and what's actually changing outcomes for students.
