Final Podcast recorded with Niki Hayes to summarize our Podcast series on Math Education.

John Saxons Story
Preface Transcript is HERE. (Somebody censored this podcast on Spotify. I included the Spotify version at the top and bottom of the transcript page and you can see they have been removed. I wonder WHO did that?) In my humble opinion the preface of Niki’s book is the MOST IMPORTANT to read because she quickly and effectively relates the HISTORY of the MATH WARS.
Because of extreme censorship of this show, including the technical disruptions, it is a miracle that any of these shows survived. When I did not have a podcast to embed below, I simply linked to the videos I crafted after the podcast was recorded.

Final Notes
At this point in the podcasting process both Niki and I burned out and we did not finish the book.
