teachers who need a today-vs-next briefing for podcasts without vaporware.

Teachers guide to podcasts sources: a today-vs-next briefing. Honest today vs next. Free YouTube tools where they apply.

Use a live tool when the source is YouTube. Otherwise type. Workspace is optional after you approve.

This page is a today-vs-next briefing for teachers. Read the honesty block before you hunt a button. You can say what works today in one sentence.

No audio rip. No RSS importer. Prefer the official YouTube upload. You need evidence of thinking, not a forced login.
