The District Podcast

Across the country—and across the political spectrum—public education is the subject of strong opinions and big questions. What should students be learning, or not learning, in school? Are districts preparing young people for a world that doesn’t exist anymore? Are expectations for students too high or too low—and unmet? Is the only way to exercise school choice to opt out of the public school system entirely?

The District, PSD’s new podcast, explores these big-picture topics with clarity and context. Each episode focuses on a specific question or talking point about public education, featuring thoughtful conversations with educators, students, community members, and experts.

Rather than sound bites or headlines, The District offers space for nuance—helping listeners better understand what’s happening in PSD schools, why it matters, and how local experiences connect to broader trends in public education.

Whether you’re a parent, staff member, student, or community member, this podcast invites you into a deeper, more informed conversation about public education and the work happening in schools every day.
