On this week's podcast:

Long time educationalist, Alwyn Poole, pulls no punches discussing the downside of New Zealand education.

While wanting New Zealand youth to experience the pinnacle of standards, he recognises the challenges and impediments confronting that achievement.

This is an interview that all New Zealand parents should hear, share it wide.

Where did every new education and social fad begin? America, pretty much.

We share a George Friedman commentary on the tumultuous state of that country. It will get worse before it gets better.

And, as always, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
