💥 REWIND ALERT! This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, we’re opening the vault to release one of our earliest, most chaotic unreleased episodes — and it’s got everything: DIY bathroom hacks, traumatic school bells, and a strong case for why Oregon Trail should count as social studies.

Come relive the absolute madness of our early pod energy as we dive into the now-legendary “teacher bidet” story, revisit the glory (and gossip) of the faculty lounge, and hop in Ted’s Time Machine for a trip back to minty swish mouthwash and pixelated computer games.

🎧 What to Expect:

– The true origin of Dave’s teacher bidet (it’s worse than you think)

– Faculty lounge etiquette, beef, and microwave politics

– A passionate rant about the exact tone of school bells

– Ted’s Time Machine returns with a vengeance: Swish mouthwash & early '90s tech

– Carmen Sandiego, Oregon Trail, and the golden era of classroom computers

– Unfiltered nonsense from a time before we had any structure (or shame)

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because every teacher podcast needs a flashback episode full of questionable hygiene, nostalgic trauma, and unsolicited opinions on middle school hallway behavior. This is peak early NPD chaos — raw, ridiculous, and kind of beautiful.
