Tired Teachers Talk - The Week 14 Survival Hour: The Late Show with Lianne Lax and Rae Whitehouse

Welcome to Tired Teachers Talk, where Leanne and Rae bring you the honest, hilarious, and often relatable struggles of surviving week 14 in education. From collapsing WiFi to collapsing teachers, emotional support cows to Christmas chaos, this is the show where primary and secondary teachers come together to vent, share, and laugh their way through the madness.
With real stories about classroom catastrophes, Nativity nightmares, and leadership-induced exhaustion, Leanne and Ray capture the essence of teaching — endless responsibilities, resilient humor, and a collective plea for chocolate and naps. Whether you're battling Velcro shoes, off-timetable chaos, or just holding on until Friday's half-day, this podcast is your dose of teacher solidarity.
Perfect for anyone in education who's ever said, "Why am I this tired?" — because we get it. You’re not alone. Grab a cuppa (or something stronger) and join us for some cathartic complaining and unfiltered teacher talk.
