The Play Ed3 Podcast

The Play Ed3 Podcast explores leadership, neurodivergence, and education — amplifying the voices that don't always get a platform.

Hosted by Tisha Poncio and Rick Butterworth, they bring stories, insights, and conversations that matter to educators, learners, and change-makers.

Their goal is to bring everyone together to learn, grow, and play.
