Fueling Creativity
By Season
After 200+ episodes, the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast has evolved, refining its format over ten-plus seasons. Initially featuring 10 interviews and two debrief episodes per season, we’ve expanded to 12 episodes, including four debriefs and a dedicated episode connecting insights to emerging scholarly research.
This shift allows us to diversify topics, dig deeper into insights, and strengthen connections between creativity research and educational practice.

As our podcast continues to grow, we remain committed to exploring new ideas and fostering meaningful discussions on creativity in education.
