About Us

Nothing Never Happens: A Radical Pedagogy Podcast is a journey into radical pedagogical theory and praxis, where we connect with leading voices in teaching and learning. With our conversation partners, we engage a wide range of approaches across educational contexts — including but not limited to radical democratic, abolitionist, decolonial, feminist, queer, anarchist, and other popular grassroots models. Our work is guided by and indebted to the wisdom of our students and community partners, in and far beyond the colleges where we teach.
