This is the strangest economy I've seen in my lifetime. If you just looked at the macro data — the jobs numbers, G.D.P., the stock market — things look pretty normal. But they clearly aren't normal. The Trump administration spent the year upending the global trade system while tech companies spent hundreds of billions of dollars on A.I., a technology that could potentially displace many of our jobs. And people don't feel normal, either. Survey data shows that the vibecession rages on.Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal are the co-hosts of the excellent economics podcast “Odd Lots” and have closely followed all the chaos this year. So I wanted to have them on the show to explain what the hell is going on.Mentioned:ChartsOdd LotsThe Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu“The Vibecession: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy” by Kyla Scanlon“Everyone is Gambling and No One is Happy” by Kyla ScanlonBook Recommendations:Breakneck by Dan WangNorth Woods by Daniel MasonA Marriage at Sea by Sophie ElmhirstThe Digital Reversal by Andrey MirOrality and Literacy by Walter J.

What inherited economic assumptions does education quietly reproduce, even when it claims to be about justice?In this episode, I speak with Dr. Cat Ho. Cat was trained as an economist but left the field early in search of work that could genuinely make the world better. That path first took her into a Christian non-profit, and later back into economics through teaching IB Diploma Programme Economics. Through her work with teachers and Gen Z learners, Cat became interested in how education can help people question inherited economic assumptions and imagine alternative possibilities. She is currently developing Critical Economic Literacy as a key dimension of Global Citizenship Education. She says that the heart of her work is a simple but demanding question: what kind of education might actually help the world become a more just and peaceful place? We discuss:

Welcome to Hot Topics! Our host, Gabrielle Crichlow, invites guest Russell Van Brocklen to discuss the Specialty-First Literacy Blueprint and the effective strategies parents can use to support their dyslexic children at home. Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects approximately 15-20% of learners, making reading and writing challenging for many students. However, with the right approach and resources, children with dyslexia can develop their skills and thrive academically.In this episode, we explore how to make reading enjoyable and accessible for your child. Follow these steps to create a personalized reading experience:Find What Your Child Likes: Talk to your child about their favorite things, such as animals, sports, or superheroes, and write down what they love.Pick a Book: Choose a print book that matches their interests and is slightly more challenging—at least one grade level above what they usually read.Get the Audiobook: Find the same book as an audiobook or record someone reading it clearly. This helps them follow along.Listen and Follow: Have your child listen to the audiobook while following the words in the book with their finger for 10 minutes.Circle Hard Words: Help your child identify difficult words and circle them in the book. If they prefer not to write in the book, they can type these words in a Word document instead.Look Up Word Meanings: Use the Merriam-Webster app together to check the meanings of those hard words. Encourage your child to verbalize the word after hearing the pronunciation in the app.Do More Vocabulary Work: Spend another 10 minutes finding and learning about any other hard words they come across.Make Sentences: Ask your child to create sentences using the new words to help reinforce their memory.Re-Read: Return to the section of the book they just read. Have them listen to the audio and read along again, focusing on the challenging words they just looked up.Keep Going: Repeat steps 4 to 9 until they finish the book, and celebrate their achievements to keep them excited about reading!Join us as we delve into the importance of personalized learning and structured literacy methods, empowering parents to help their children overcome reading challenges associated with dyslexia and thrive in their educational journey.Who is Russell Van Brocklen?From Russell: "Dyslexia touches as many as 15–20 % of all learners, yet most families still hear 'wait and see.' I flip that script. As the Dyslexia Professor, I translate structured-literacy methods proven most effective for struggling readers into bite-size actions parents can use tonight. Your audience leaves knowing exactly why multisensory routines beat generic worksheets and how to start seeing progress before the next report card."You can find Russell:On the web: https://dyslexiaclasses.com/On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dyslexiaclasses/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dyslexiaclassesus/On X: https://twitter.com/dyslexiaclassesOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-van-brocklen-2007ab87/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_cqwfxn9FqFx1Idl0YbeHgWatch this on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/VoZJ3_Z8nEYRate this episode on IMDB: TBA********************************************Follow Gabrielle Crichlow:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabrielle.crichlowOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabrielle.crichlowOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielle-crichlow-92587a360Follow A Step Ahead Tutoring Services:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn X: https://www.x.com/ASATS2013On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a-step-ahead-tutoring-services/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@astepaheadtutoringservicesOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asats2013On Eventbrite: https://astepaheadtutoringservices.eventbrite.comVisit us on the web: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.comSign up for our email list: https://squareup.com/outreach/a41DaE/subscribeSign up for our text list: https://tapit.us/cipPJOCheck out our entire "Hot Topics!" podcast: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com/hottopicspodcastSupport us:Cash App: https://cash.app/$ASATS2013PayPal: https://paypal.me/ASATS2013Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ASATS2013Zelle: success@astepaheadtutoringservices.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/supportOriginal date of episode: September 5, 2025

In this episode, we sit down with Tinsley Galyean—co-founder of Curious Learning and author of the forthcoming book REFRAME: How Curiosity & Literacy Can Redefine Us—to challenge everything we think we know about technology, kids, and learning. As debates rage over screen time, AI, and the impact of digital tools on child development, Galyean offers a powerful counter-narrative: what if technology, used intentionally, could become one of the most transformative forces in global childhood literacy? Drawing on fieldwork across Ethiopia, India, Bangladesh, South Africa, and beyond, Tinsley reveals how low-cost smartphones and child-driven learning apps are helping children learn to read in their mother tongue—even in communities with no formal schooling. We explore why curiosity is the secret engine of learning, how tech can support (not replace) human connection, and why it's time to reexamine the role technology can and should play in childhood literacy. If you're an educator, parent, or leader searching for evidence-based insights on technology and kids, digital learning, or the future of literacy, this conversation will expand your thinking and push you to reframe what's possible.

Collapse and Loss of Literacy in the Aegean: Colleague Eric Cline revisits the demise of the Minoans and Mycenaeans, comparing their state to a tree that appears solid but is rotted inside, collapsing when stressed by environmental factors; the segment emphasizes the total disintegration of their palatial economy and culture, noting that unlike other regions where administration continued, the Greeks lost their ability to write for centuries, with the transition from the Bronze Age Wanax to the Iron Age Basileus reflecting a complete restructuring of society. 1959

This book supports educators in teaching academic writing skills to Newcomer English Learners (ELs) who are just beginning their English language learning journey. Newcomer ELs typically have minimal familiarity with the English alphabet, which can be an obstacle for them when learning writing, phonics, and spelling in English. Drawing on research and classroom‑tested methods, this book provides teachers practical strategies to help Newcomers start writing earlier, mastering letter-sound correspondence, and gaining confidence to write their thoughts in English. Readers will learn how to seamlessly integrate EL-targeted strategies and personalized literacy instruction into writing workshops to accelerate Newcomer's acquisition of English phonics, spelling, and writing skills. These adaptable strategies also benefit world language teachers seeking effective ways to teach writing and literacy to beginners on any language learning journey. Built on the author's instructional coaching expertise and observations of field testing by practicing teachers, this is an excellent resource for English as a Second Language (ESL) educators and instructional coaches to promote faster and better literacy acquisition for their Newcomers and other beginner language learners.
