Engaging Podcast Delivers Authentic Discussions on Education for Everyone

Podcasts have transformed our interactions and the way we acquire knowledge over the last ten years. The most compelling ones seamlessly combine education with entertainment, much like Dr. Thyais Maxwell’s 2theMax podcast. With over 20 years of educational experience, Dr. Maxwell aims to foster genuine discussions surrounding educational topics. The idea emerged during a lunch among friends, igniting a desire to engage her audience meaningfully. “I needed something to rekindle my passion for education post-pandemic,” Dr. Maxwell disclosed. Currently the principal at Carver High School, her illustrious career includes prominent roles within the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The podcast has quickly gained traction, discussing pivotal issues like social emotional learning and school safety, featuring notable guests. Producer Ronnie Caviness believes it could reshape community engagement in education.
