A collaboration podcast with the Mythcreants about creating magical schools! (There is a transcript in the show notes.)
“Let’s face it: most of us really want to attend a special school where they teach you magic spells. The only problem is that these schools all seem to be incredibly dangerous. Sometimes they’re filled with monsters, other times there’s an evil teacher out to get you, or maybe the teachers just don’t do anything in the face of magical bullying. But is there a better way? Can you craft a magic school that is both a positive learning environment and a good place for adventures? Listen and find out!”
I loved this episode, actually all of them, but this is especially wholesome because magical (and other fictional) schools seem to default to toxic learning environments. It’s really important to imagine a positive alternative, one which nurtures curiosity.
I totally agree. Let’s stop pretending that toxic learning environments are “normal” as if that is that is all just a part of growing up.
These next three weeks there is a new set of Mythcreants episodes coming out that I’m a guest on. I hope that you enjoy those episodes too!
I did enjoy the “Expanding Story Narratives” episode! Looking forward to more 😀
