Over our final bottles of cabernet merlot, we ponder love, life and tattoos over Infectious' retelling of the Shakespeare classic Hamlet. We give the censor free reign as we expose our souls and calf muscles, over a medley of recitation and national anthems.
This is the final installment of this epic cast, many thanks to Infectious and Easy Evan for helping me conclude and declare that "Teaching is dead. Long live teaching!"

Hosted collectively by current/former teachers Easy Evan, Infectious and the Prophet Esau, the PIDLLP crew has another fireside wine tasting and discussion that shines a light on the profession of teaching from the inside. What is the purpose of education? What pandemic education look like? Are we teaching the kids the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to survive or thrive in tomorrow's world? Do we teach subjects or students?
Over a few bottles of beaujolais and Copper Moon, we tell "generalized specific" stories of our shared teaching experience to elucidate our opinions on this profound profession.

Episode 07 - Cancel Culture
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Freedom of voice (or freedom to shut the f*ck up)... A discussion with the PIDLLP crew (poetry is dead long live poetry) about the importance of voice:
-having A voice, defining YOUR voice, honing, maintaining and not canceling but educating, reconciling, redefining, valuing and sharing
. blacklisting Charlie Chaplin (cancelled him based on the perspective of the day, should we not be more evolved in our approach to engaging voices)
-What's the difference between irony, parody, spoofs and satire? Are these important to circumventing cancel culture
I explore these questions with Easy Evan and Infectious, as well as a loose critique of grapes during the 2nd fire and wine session.
