14: Teacher Q&A with Siobhan Brosnan (Comic / Teacher)

Van Halen was hot for them, Pink Floyd shouted at them and Elton John needed them, yes this week’s Be Grand is all about teachers.  As a show that is 75 percent about school (the rest being jj72, Andy wanting to be in a boyband and the phrase “eerrrmmm”) the next logical step was to get a teacher on the show to answer the questions that you have always wanted to know so joining Andy this week is teacher and comedian Siobhan Brosnan.  Do teachers know their own nickname? What happens when hormones hit the school yard and did the teacher you fancied know you fancied them? Siobhan is on hand is answer all of these and more. Plus why the the old teachings methods have to change and why kindness to the student will always be the most important thing a teacher would give to a student.  So enjoy this episode of a podcast that still thinks of Andrew Lincoln as Mr Casey and not the zombie hunting sign carrying so and so he would become.  https://twitter.com/siobhan_brosnan

Andy Gaffney is not very clever. And not in a cute “How old were you when you realised…” way – more in a “didn’t know Barcelona was in Spain” way. But maybe he can fix that! BE GRAND: THE LEAVING CERT RESIT is the show where Andy invites very clever talented people onto the show to relive their school days, talk about how they ended doing what they do and along the way, they can earn some completely pointless points by answering Leaving Cert questions from the year they did it. All in the hope that Andy’s sponge-like brain soaks up this new knowledge! That and provide some sweet sweet light entertainment of course…
