The Staff Room Podcast | EP11 "No training, no briefing and I had zero experience with children" with Special Guest Chris Washington

This week's story is beyond unique and questions the fabric of life itself as it has come in from a dinner man. DUN DUN DUN! Until this episode, I didn't even know men were even allowed inside a school kitchen but this story shows that they exist.  My guest for this one is Chris Washington, the “Peter Kay for the smart phone generation”. After his 2017 Edinburgh Award for Best Newcomer nomination for his show 'Dream Big (Within Reason)', Chris has gone to headline his own episode of Live From The BBC. He has written and performed in four online sketches for BBC Three’s Quickies series, earning over 12 million views and has appeared on Mock The Week. And there is one more thing on his CV that I can't wait for you to hear about.  If you've enjoyed listening please leave us a review, give it a share and let us know on social media whose side you're on teacher or student.  If you want to hear more cracking episode you can find us anywhere you get your pods.  Anchor - https://anchor.fm/staffroompod [https://anchor.fm/staffroompod]  itunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-staff-room-podcast/id1551259872 [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-staff-room-podcast/id1551259872]   Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0FCPSJEEz2LONUYqcuewO7 [https://open.spotify.com/show/0FCPSJEEz2LONUYqcuewO7] Any teachers who fancy sharing their own story with The Staff Room email - staffroompod@gmail.com [staffroompod@gmail.com] * Wanna follow The Staff Room online?  Twitter - @Pod_staff Insta - @Staffroompod Facebook - @StaffRoomPod * Wanna follow Chris online?

The Staff Room Podcast | EP8 "I’ve worked with little knob heads in various roles" with Special Guest Daisy Earl

This week I share a story from a teacher who clearly had other plans in life but ended up in a classroom rather than on the West End. They tell a story about the time they were working 2:1 with a teenager called Teddy who is a "sweet lad at heart but does have a temper worse than the Kray twins". My guest is the fantastic Daisy Earl. Since starting stand-up in 2013, she has quickly attracted plaudits; winning ‘Best New Comedian’ at the Scottish Variety Awards in 2015, and then being crowned ‘Scottish Comedian of the Year’ in the same year, making her the first-ever female winner. She has supported Tom Stade on his nationwide tour and has appeared as a guest on BBC Radio’s ‘Breaking the News’, the STV ‘Late Show ‘and BBC Radio 4 Extra’s ‘Best of the Fest’.  We talk about Daisy's hilarious but traumatic school days, what it was like going to private school and I even surprise Daisy with a short story that I received from her favourite school teacher. Plus Daisy really does show how she feels about this week's teacher's tale.

The Staff Room Podcast | EP7 "PUT YOUR PENIS AWAY IN MY LESSON!" with Special Guest Callum Oakley

This episode is a scream! I've not laughed as much as this in a while. This week I share a story from a teacher about a Year 11 lad who turned up late to his science lesson with an amazing excuse. It's great fun and plain silly from beginning to end.  Callum Oakley is my guest for this one. He tells me how he started performing stand up at the age of 14 and how he ended up in the BGT semi-finals only a few years later. Most recently Callum has support Paul Smith on his UK tour playing theatres up and down the country plus a packed out Echo Arena in Liverpool (now named the M&S Bank Arena). Plus we get into a recent news story about a DT teacher in South Wales who was struck off after comments he made about students in his anonymous blog came to light. It's a belter of an episode.  If you've enjoyed listening please leave us a review, give it a share and let us know on social media whose side you're on teacher or student.  If you want to hear more cracking episode you can find us anywhere you get your pods.

The Staff Room Podcast | EP6 "He gave zero shits about the fact that he had done multiple shits" with Special Guest James Allen

For this week episode, I share a story from an assistant headteacher who was on the hunt for a naughty lad and found a few surprises along the way. My guest for this one is the human question mark that is my friend and comedian James Allen. We get knee-deep into his school days as James recounts some real 'Will' from 'The Inbetweeners' moments (Honestly there are loads it takes up the first 20 minutes). Plus James tells the story of when he gigged in front of Les Battersby and left the stage after being continually heckled.
