On Tuesday, High School East English teacher, Mr. Zarzicki, shares an interview he conducted with American humorist and author, David Sedaris. Mr. Zarzicki, who has taught Sedaris' writing in his classroom for many years, met up with Mr. Sedaris this summer in London, England. On Wednesday, join us for our first book talk. This month, Ipek Basturk and Jinhee Hong discuss The Love Hypothesis By Ali Hazelwood – an engaging modern-day romance filled with many twists and turns. This Thursday, Lindsay Weinfeld takes a hard look at standardized testing and discusses how these tests put immense stress and anxiety on students who already have too much to worry about. On Friday, Eden Spielman interviews retired New York Jets center Nick Mangold about his life in football: from his years at Ohio State to his eleven seasons with the Jets to his post NFL life in the business and broadcasting world. Mangold offers advice for players, insight into the psychology of football and a few tips to help the Jets this season. We conclude today's podcast with an exciting announcement.
