The Frickin' Golden Apple

We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades

Join Lisa and Sue, two retired elementary school teachers with over 30 years of experience each, as they dive into the hilarious world of education in their latest podcast adventure. After failed attempts to publish their comedic experiences in a book, they decided to take matters into their own hands and share their stories out loud.
In this episode, Lisa and Sue tackle the absurdity of the "Golden Apple" award in their district. With no clear criteria or rubric, the award has become a bizarre popularity contest, leaving many deserving educators feeling overlooked and underappreciated. From campaigning for votes to receiving odd teacher appreciation gifts like empty vases and rubber bands, the duo hilariously dissects the flawed system with their trademark wit and sarcasm.

But the laughs don't stop there. From emergency landings on flights to Florida to awkward encounters with drug-sniffing dogs in Mexico, Sue and Lisa share their misadventures with a side of self-deprecating humor that's sure to leave listeners in stitches.

So sit back, relax, and join the retired teachers as they navigate the ups and downs of life after the classroom. With their candid storytelling and infectious laughter, they guarantee to brighten your day and make you appreciate the wild ride of education like never before. Tune in for a dose of laughter and nostalgia—you won't want to miss it!
