Gettin' Air with Blair Niblett. Dr. Niblett is Associate Professor in the School of Education at Trent University. This episode was brought to you by Trent University's Centre for Teaching and Learning. The CTL produces a wonderful monthly newsletter called Teaching Notes and February's newsletter is focused on care and kindness in education. We thought an interview with Dr. Niblett, whose scholarship has love and care in pedagogy at its core, would be just the thing to include. As such, Blair's journey to enact an ethic of care as a pedagogical paradigm is central to the discussion.
Gettin' Air with Jon Dron. Professor Jon Dron is the Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment in the Faculty of Science and Technology at Athabasca University and a British National Teaching Fellow. Dr. Dron joins the show to chat a little bit about how education works via his latest book: How Education Works: Teaching, Technology, and Technique.

Gettin' Air with Dave Cormier. Learning in a Time of Abundance is the result of decades of Dave's thinking, hundreds of blog posts, and endless conversations. With this book, Dave takes us on a journey to the centre of learning, with many interesting stops along the way, most of them unexpected. The Beaver Hating Online Community is represented, for example. In this episode, Dave tells us the story of bringing this book to life. Spoiler alert: It's must read material.
Gettin' Air with Kim English and Brent Bellamy. Kim and Brent join the show to chat about new hats that they are wearing in their work as educators at Trent University. The aforementioned hat is likely a Stetson as they are both now officially deputized as eCampusOntario Open Rangers, tasked with increasing Open Education awareness across the institution. We discuss their plans for workshops and design sprints aimed to bring Trent into this brave new frontier of Open Education.
Gettin' Air with Dr. Jenni Hayman. The very first ever guest on Gettin' Air - Open Pedagogy Podcast returns in order to subvert Higher Ed hiring practices. This is an interview for a job that doesn't exist, but should. And Dr. Jenni Hayman is the woman for the job.
Gettin' Air with Charles Logan. A Learning Sciences PhD student at Northwestern University, Charles joins the show to chat about resistance and refusal of educational technologies, Luddite pedagogies, and how Audrey Watters is the GOAT.

In this episode we dicsuss the EMM Lab's recently released white paper which is a guide on how to run a zine-based conference, which used their experience running just such a conference, DIY Methods 2022, as the basis for the guide. As you can guess, the process leads to "insightful, weird, and frequently delightful" products!
Gettin' Air with Heather Tillberg-Webb and Stephanie Moore. Heather & Stephanie join the show to discuss their new book Ethics and Educational Technology which walks readers through a sorely (until now) missing process of reflection (of our current practices), interrogation (of educational technologies) and ethical design. It is, as Bonni Stachowiak put it, a magnificent work.
Gettin' Air wth Dr Bea de los Arcos. This is a long overdue chat with legendary open educator Dr. Bea de los Arcos. Bea has worked in Open education for many years. Her journey has taken her from her home counrty of Spain, to the Open University (UK) and now the TU Delft in the Netherlands. Any joyful enthusiasm for open education that exists in the world can all likely be tracked back to Bea. There is no research to back that claim up but it rings true.
Gettin' Air with Dr. Fiona Rawle. Dr. Rawle professes biology at the University of Toronto - Mississauga. Her research focuses on science education and public understanding of science. In this episode we chat about how she has focused on humanizing learning, including researching the benefits of failure in our learny journeys. Something I do all the time!
Gettin' Air with Stephen Hurley. A long overdue conversation with the architect behind the VoicEd Radio universe!

Host and co-host of numerous podcasts better than Gettin' Air (Secret Feminist Agenda and Witch Please to name a couple), Hannah joins the show to chat about (and get quizzed on) her brand new book, A Sentimental Education. Talking points include: snuff films, leitmotif, Jurassic Park, and praxis.

Gettin' Air with Monique Mayer and Kristine Dreaver-Charles. Monique and Kristine join the show to share how they collaborated with students at the University of Saskatchewan to resurrect a 104 year old German veterinary textbook, "The Lymphatic System of the Dog".

Gettin' Air with Dr. Alex Ketchum. We chat about Dr. Ketchum's upcoming book "Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication" and how she is going to use the advice that is IN her book, ON her book. Is this meta public scholarship? Let's find out!

This is a very special, non-canonical, episode of Gettin' Air: The Open Pedagogy Podcast. It was originally recorded as a visit by Terry Greene, Christian Metaxas, Dana Jamaleddine, and Asa Reynolds to Stephen Hurley's live morning radio show "Hurley In The Morning". In this chat we describe the Liberated Learner Project, which is in development, and our plans to host a problem-causing design sprint that will feed the creation of this new Ontario Extend project (aka Ontario Extend, But For Learners This Time).
Gettin' Air with Jonathan Lashley. If you distill this episode down to its core, it is essentially about how the Associate Chief Academic Officer at the Idaho State Board of Education became fast, digital friends with the Senior eLearning Designer at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario and how it is all an Educational Technologist at the Office of Digital Learning, University of Oklahoma's fault.

Gettin' Air with Dr. Kristopher Alexander. The Video Games Prof himself joins the show to chat how, perhaps, there is a more engaging way to do synchronous online learning than Zoom. And through his experience very nearly making it to the top of the Street Fighter III global rankings using the very worst player in the game, he shows that it's not about having the very best tools to work with, it's about working with what you got and working it to its fullest.
Gettin' Air with AJ Boston. AJ is an Assistant Professor and Scholarly Communication Librarian at Murray State University in Kentucky. He joins Terry to chat about the most scholarly of musical genres (Hip-Hop) and how it exhibits very comparable trends to librarianship for scholarly communication. He also opines that Gettin' Air is actually a triple entendre, rather than just a boring old double entendre!
Gettin' Air with Delmar Larsen. In honor of Open Education Week 2021, we chat with one of Open Education's biggest contributors. Delmar is the Director (and originator) of the open textbook platform LibreTexts. In this conversation, Delmar describes how LibreText's origins can be traced back to catastrophic childhood events. We follow it all the way through to its current state, which is an extremely rich and diverse ecosystem of open learning experiences. So far they've provided learners with oh just a few millennia worth of free learning time. We finish off by chatting about a few current issues in Open Education and how we might best move forward.
Gettin' Air with Jacinta Yanders. Dr. Yanders is a self-described pedagogy nerd who loves pop culture.

Shea is a librarian and Senior Instructor at the Auraria Library which serves the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and the University of Colorado Denver.

In December of 2020, Brenna Clarke Gray and Brian Lamb (along with a host of others) organized and delivered the Teach-In Against Surveillance as a fundraiser in defence of Ian Linkletter (more info at http://againstsurveillance.net/). The event featured pretty much the greatest lineup of critical thinkers and doers in digital education that the world has to offer. In this After Show, I quiz Brenna and Brian on who said what during the epic 3 hour take down.
Gettin' Air with Tim Owens (@timmmmyboy). Tim is co-founder of Reclaim Hosting with Jim Groom, which provides independent web hosting to educators and institutions.
