Welcome to the November 2011 episode of the Broad Pod featuring the theme, Teachers.
Larissa Niec, author of Shorn: Book One of the Sky Seekers and professor of psychology at Central Michigan University hosts this month’s episode.
What teachers stand out in your memory? Was there someone who encouraged you to strive when you might have given up? Did someone inspire you with their own courage? Were your favorite teachers larger than life or very human?
Four authors offer us remarkably different visions of teachers and lessons:
Award-winning author, Carol Berg, intrigues us with an excerpt from The Spirit Lens, in which Portier, a failed student of magic, travels with a teacher who might just provide him the confidence he needs to unlock his own strength.
In a piece from the short story, “The Lesson of the Phoenix,” Julia Rios shows us that life lessons may come in many forms, and teachers need not be elder to be wise.
Trisha Wooldridge shares an excerpt from “Photo of a Mermaid,” in which two people in dire circumstances discover they each have things to teach the other.
And Justine Graykin offers the tale of Dietrich, who gets a sharp-tongued lesson in identity and cultural survival.
Sit back and enjoy these tales, and perhaps you will be reminded of a teacher who has been important to you.
