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.

#063 - Carl Azuz | Finding Media You Can Trust From a Former CNN Anchor

September 24, 2024 • Lucas Clarke

Carl Azuz is most well-known for his years hosting CNN10 and has just recently gone Independent with The World from A to Z with Carl Azuz. On the episode, we discuss him initially starting off with CNN, his punthusiastic personality, making it the goal to not spend too much time on a story in his episodes to help spark opportunities for nuance within his viewers, the difficulty in making extremely emotionally reactive stories objective, the differences between critical thinking and being skeptical, what Social Studies teach students outside of the literacy components associated with it, creating a coffee shop environment in the classroom, having students look at what different news outlets look at on a slow news day, and, much more! Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show!
