TEACHING IN HIGHER ED PODCAST
Hosted by Bonni Stachowiak, The Teaching in Higher Ed Podcast airs weekly. The podcast focuses on topics such as excellence in teaching, instructional design, open education, diversity and inclusion, productivity, creativity in teaching, educational technology, and blended learning.
Dave (my husband) had built such a tremendous community through his Coaching for Leaders podcast. After a few years of podcasting under his belt and really believing there was a need for conversations about teaching in a higher education context, he finally convinced me to start a podcast of my own.
I know it is a cop-out, but I truly cannot narrow it down too much. I treasure the conversations about cultural competence, as I know they are vital in helping us serve our students more effectively. I have also really enjoyed the times that I have shared laughter with a podcast guest.
The most basic way to listen to a podcast is to go to the page for the episode you want to listen to (using the episodes listing) and press the play button. However, we suggest using a podcast app on your phone to subscribe to Teaching in Higher Ed, so you can take the episodes with you on the go. iPhones have the Podcasts app built in and there are plenty more podcast "catchers" like Overcast, Stitcher Radio, Google Play, and more. More on listening to podcasts.
Dave and I started our podcasting adventures using the approach and equipment recommended by The Podcast Answer Man on his free online course. Since then, we have had to replace our mixer, but everything else is still working out great all these years later.

ABOUT BONNI STACHOWIAK
HOST & PRODUCER OF THE TEACHING IN HIGHER ED PODCAST
DEAN OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
PROFESSOR OF BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT
It started when I was around six years old.
I used to “teach” in my room at home. The stuffed animals and dolls were my students. My bedroom door had a sign on it that read #208. My “name” was “Miss Monroe,” a tribute to the 1970s Charlie’s Angels…
I have always wanted to teach.
Fast forward to today. I teach as a university professor at Vanguard University: a small, private, liberal arts university in Orange County, California. I'm also dean of teaching and learning, which allows me to collaborate with other faculty toward improving all of our teaching. I’m also fortunate to get to coach faculty in my dean role and connect with faculty from all over the world through the Teaching in Higher Ed community.
Much has changed since my childhood dream first emerged. Curiously, my office door was #208 for the first 15 years of my teaching (some strange coincidence that gave me some confidence, years ago, that perhaps I was taking the right path when I accepted the offer to teach at my institution).
Lest you think I’m overly superstitious, though, my dentist’s office was also #208, but it didn't eventually stop me from switching to another one a few years back. The conference room for our departments is #208, so I haven't left all that completely behind.
I'm married to my best friend and partner, Dave Stachowiak. Our paths first crossed while we were earning our MA degrees and we have been committed to learning, together, ever since. We have two young children who teach us both things on a daily basis.
