Co-Host Special

ITP- 111 How did your Hosts get into International Teaching? We revisit our origin stories with elevator versions. Past episodes have focused on each one of us individually, but if you haven't heard those older episodes (like Episode 2 or 3 for Matt and Greg, respectively) then this is the episode for you. Did you know Kent has a past as a scientist, a stand-up comedian, and a metal worker? Did you know JP studied German, French, and Spanish all at the same time, or that she was once told "go back and learn to teach in Canada"? Did you know Greg was raised by wolves in Greenland? All this and more... on this rare New Years Episode.
