About This Podcast

Pack your bags and leave your lesson plans at the door. Hosted by longtime expats Chris and Robin, Mad Dogs and English Teachers is a weekly deep-dive into the reality of life as an international educator. What’s on the syllabus? True Stories: The stuff they didn’t mention in your TEFL course. Your Turn: We read listener emails from across the globe—the good, the bad, and the "did that really happen?" Hard-Won Advice: Real talk on surviving and thriving in a foreign country. It’s less about pedagogy and more about the people. Come for the stories, stay for the community.
