Mr. Clarke After Dark
Welcome to the “Mr. Clarke After Dark” podcast with host Lucas Clarke, an educator determined to move away from recycled professional development and engage in more nuanced, personable, and relevant conversations for learning.
Each week, Mr. Clarke unpacks the inner workings of the classroom and learns out loud with educators, politicians, comedians, and other field experts of all shapes, sizes, and burnout levels. Whether they have been in the trenches of their profession for five months or fifty years, we are here to share everything from classroom hacks, our worst mistakes, and the occasional profound musing (from the guests). From conversations about race with Daryl Davis, education reform with Jennifer Gonzalez, global educational development with professors from the World Bank, to stories about students farting in class, there will always be something you can take away from the show, for better or worse.
So, come on over and join the dark side ... unless you’re scared.

Gaslighting The Gaslighters | Episode #43 - Sam Salem
Sam (@samsleeves) is a Substitute Teacher by day and Stand-up Comedian by night and is based out of Los Angeles, California. He is also a Co-Host of the CallBacksPod. On this episode, Sam and I discuss how teaching through Covid inspired him to go into stand-up, the surprising things students say to him, his experience coaching college basketball, how it is weird being in charge of people’s children, how comedy parallels teaching in some ways, the negativity bias of how people typically only hear about the negatives of teaching from people who do not want to teach anymore, new slang, and, much more. Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show!
