💥 Sub Plans, Pet Hamsters, & the Exclamation Point Dilemma | NPD Podcast Ep. 14

This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, we’re spiraling through everything from substitute teacher disasters to the number of exclamation points that will (or won’t) get you fired in a staff email.

Also on the docket: medieval hygiene facts (you’re not ready), Ted’s standing ovation moment, and a Ted’s Time Machine segment that sends us straight into the world of classroom pets and ferret-related trauma. This episode has everything: rodents, rants, and real teacher appreciation.

🎧 What to Expect:

– Unhinged substitute teacher plans and the chaos they leave behind

– Whether three exclamation points is too many (or not enough)

– Medieval bathing routines you’ll wish you never heard

– Ted accidentally getting a standing ovation (yes, really)

– Classroom pets, emotional support snakes, and hamster heartbreak

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because we’ve all written “Thanks!!!” and immediately regretted it. Whether you're the cool teacher with a lizard, the one writing apology notes to your sub, or just barely holding it together, this episode will make you feel extremely seen.
