Defining Teacher Identity: The Late Late Show with Ed Finch & Toby P-C

A very different and rather professional show from Toby and Ed (are we 'radio hosts,' teachers or are we dancer?  Not actually a Killers fan.  Great pub band with one banger.  Anyway the definition of teacher and its myriad sub definitions was discussed and then who or what should, shouldn't or does it really matter, describe themselves as a teacher.  Then the instigator of last week's Twitter furore on the matter, Daniel Bundred, called in and explained his reasoning most eloquently.  It all got a bit emotional at the end with THE Mrs P popping in to say hi and Ed playing Katy Perry's Firework (it's nearly November 5th people) on the ukelele.  But the most exciting thing about the show was the new jingle and Ed 'uking' to it at the end!
