    Ivy Insights

    The MinorWisdom podcast hosted by Blake Minor is a fantastic show that focuses on the world of educational theatre. Blake's superpower of genuinely loving to talk to people and hear their stories shines through in each episode. He has created a platform to showcase the stories of individuals who spend their lives impacting others through theatre, providing a serious look at the inside of educational theatre while still capturing the journey it provides.

    One of the best aspects of The MinorWisdom podcast is the personal insight that Blake offers. By sharing his own experiences and reflections on his visits to different schools, he provides a unique perspective on how these visits have changed his perception of various educational institutions. This personal touch adds depth and authenticity to each episode and allows listeners to connect with Blake on a deeper level.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to highlight the great things happening in theatre departments. By featuring interviews with notable guests and asking thought-provoking questions, Blake ensures that listeners gain a full grasp of each guest's character. This not only respects their intelligence but also allows listeners to learn more about the world of theatre from different perspectives.

    However, there are some minor drawbacks to The MinorWisdom podcast. One issue lies with audio quality, as sometimes the volume can be too low or there may be background noise or feedback when turned up. While this does not take away from the content itself, it can be distracting for listeners who want a seamless listening experience.

    In conclusion, The MinorWisdom podcast is definitely worth a listen for anyone interested in educational theatre or already involved in it. Blake's passion for his work is evident throughout each episode, and he consistently delivers interesting interviews with big names in the field. Whether you're considering entering the education side of theatre or are already entrenched in it, this podcast is informative and inspiring, making it an excellent choice for your morning commute or any time you want to immerse yourself in engaging conversations about theatre. Props to Blake for his dedication and enthusiasm in creating such a valuable resource for the theatre community.
