This episode is a bit of a break from the norm, with Danielle Corsetto and Dan Berry discussing approaches to teaching. This mainly takes the form of Danielle asking Dan's opinion on various aspects of being an arts educator, from confidence, to expertise, to grades, to tone of voice and more. 

The course in Denmark we both taught on is the Graphic Storytelling course at The Animation Workshop, Via University in Viborg. It is exceptionally good and I am always very impressed with what they do and how they do it.
