Lev has taught International Political Economy at The Beacon School since 2005. He is also the host of A Correction Podcast. This interview is from a recent episode of our sister-podcast: Ethical Schools
Richard retired after 28 years of teaching history in New York City middle and high school grades, including at Central Park East Secondary School, CPESS, and Beacon High School.
A note from Lev:
I am a high school teacher of history and economics at a public high school in NYC, and began the podcast to help demystify economics for teachers. The podcast is now within the top 2% of podcasts worldwide in terms of listeners (per Listen Notes) and individual episodes are frequently listed by The Syllabus (the-syllabus.com) as among the 10 best political economy podcasts of a particular week. The podcast is reaching thousands of listeners each month.
The podcast seeks to provide a substantive alternative to mainstream economics media; to communicate information and ideas that contribute to equitable and peaceful solutions to political and economic issues; and to improve the teaching of high school and university political economy.
I am looking to be able to raise money in order to improve the technical quality of the podcast and maintain the website. I am also hoping to hire an editor, buy books and subscribe to digital libraries.
Best,
Lev
