"Higher Ed Breakfast Club" is a dynamic and engaging podcast dedicated to exploring the multifaceted world of higher education. Each episode will dive into current events, topical discussions, and interviews with guests from higher education. The unique twist of the podcast is that both the hosts and guests will discuss breakfast; what they had that morning, favorite breakfast foods, cultural breakfast foods from their background, etc. The podcast digs into serious topics while maintaining an air of irreverence, humor, and breakfast foods.

 

We think of this as a continuation of the conversations one has with colleagues after work, around water coolers (if those still exist), over lunch or breakfast, at a bar while at a conference, etc. The basic format is as follows but is loose based on how the convo goes:

 

1. Introduction – Hosts introduce themselves and the guests, followed by a brief discussion of that day's breakfast.

2. What’s Cookin’ in Higher Ed? – An analysis and discussion of recent news and developments in higher education.

3. Thematic Deep Dive – An in-depth discussion on a specific aspect of higher education (e.g., technology in classrooms, diversity and inclusion, student mental health). Guests with expertise in the topic contribute their knowledge and experiences.

4. Breakfast Break – A light-hearted segment where hosts and guests discuss their breakfast, sharing recipes, cultural insights, and personal stories related to food.

5. Guest Interview – A focused conversation with a featured guest about their work, research, or experiences in higher education.

6. Wrap-Up
