   E11: "Behind the Eyes of Our Youth" and the Pedagogy of Podcasting - Feat. Dr. Stephen R. Flemming

   Welcome to season 2 of Rapping PE! The place where we discuss Precarity, Pedagogy, and Physical Education. Episode 1 of season 2 kicks off with Dr. Stephen R. Flemming (@KellyGrade6) who is a public school teacher in the Northwest section of Philadelphia. He teaches High School ELA and has a unique blogpost that shares his thoughts and feelings while giving you an insight into the type of pedagogies (Advocating for Social Justice Through Script-Writing) he utilizes to inspire his students. In addition the his blogpost, you can experience the byproduct of a carefully crafted student-centered podcasting experience that focuses on the experiences of the youth at his high school. The podcast is fittingly referenced as Behind The Eyes of Our Youth. It was a pleasure talking with Dr. Flemming and I hope we can continue communicating and possibly working together on some projects within the community of Northwest Philadelphia.

   E9: Is Physical Education for All or for Some? - Feat. Dr. Tara Blackshear

   Welcome to Rapping PE! I’m your host - Steven Buller - AKA Beard Drip Buller - Repping Philly Philly! This is the place where we explore precarity, pedagogy, and physical education! This podcast is dedicated to physical educators of the future, past, and present. Dr. Tara Blackshear (https://tarablackshear.com) has, according to her website, " ... made a global impact by working around the world to improve the quality of life for others. Recognizing the discouraging health statistics in the United States, particularly among females and people of color, Dr. Blackshear focuses on research that confronts health and physical activity disparities, and inequities in education that disproportionately affect Black women." I invited Dr. Blackshear to join me on the show to discuss her paper #ShapeSoWhite (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17408989.2020.1741533) and have a conversation about her work and what direction we should be moving as a profession. Her work sparked interested and conversation from many educators within the field, and even resulted in a conversation around the practices of our national organization known as SHAPE America. You can find her Unplugged episode with leaders from SHAPE on YouTube (https://youtu.be/TZa6lt6i8qI). As the late Congressman John Lewis, who represented Georgia's 5th District, once said, "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something." Dr. Blackshear's research, #SHAPEsoWhite, is a testament to speak truth to power and be part of the conversation. This is a great podcast that covers many important topics that are otherwise misrepresented or largely misunderstood by many educators. Topics like Embodied Approaches, Affirmations, the Policing of Bodies, Interest Conversion Theory, ethic of care and love, Physical Awareness over Physical Literacy, Extinction of PE, SHAPE's Teacher of the Year Award process, and more. Our conversation highlighted various questions like ... is the practice of awarding Teacher of the Year candidates a special place reserved for affluent schools? Is Physical Education for all or for some? Thank you for for checking out my podcast, I hope you enjoy the show. Please subscribe to the podcast Rapping PE.

   E6: Part A - LOST and Found - Feat. Lawrence Schwartz

   Episode 6 Part A continues our official podcast journey where I have the pleasure of introducing Lawrence Schwartz from Ukiah, California. Larry teaches for the Ukiah Unified School District (https://www.uusd.net) (UUSD). The UUSD's mission and vision statement reached out to me and seemed authentic and honest about the community in which they serve. Take the time to read their mission and vision statement, I hope to see more schools redesign their mission and vision statement to be a more honest reflection of the students they serve and how to serve them best. I loved talking with Coach Schwartz, it was an emotional conversation based on love of what we do and who we teach.

    E2: My Beliefs, Values, and Philosophy of Life.

    Intro Welcome to Rapping PE! This is the place where we explore precarity, pedagogy, and physical education! This podcast is dedicated to physical educators of the future, past, and present. Episode 2 looks to quickly explore my beliefs and values and how that has shaped my life philosophy, and my philosophy as an educator. I hope to provide a clear presentation of who I am as an individual and how that shapes what I do as a health & physical educator. It is a topic area that I feel is typically ignored, or forgotten about after the completion of your philosophy of education in college whereas it should be incorporated as part of our reflective growth as an educator. I believe that it is okay for your philosophy to change over time, after all, I am an educator because I was a student and I am a student because I am an educator. I look forward to revisiting this podcast next year in a reflective manner to see if my beliefs, values and life philosophy have changed and how so. I also look to further expand upon my philosophy of life throughout the year and update you on it. I believe that in order for my listeners to understand why I am engaging with the podcast format to showcase an interconnectedness, I need to be reflective of my practices and demonstrate how I am incorporating my beliefs, values, and philosophies into Rapping PE.

    E1: Why Me, Why Rapping PE?

    Welcome to Rapping PE! I’m your host - Steven Buller - AKA Beard Drip Buller - Repping Philly Philly! This is the place where we explore precarity, pedagogy, and physical education! This podcast is dedicated to physical educators of the future, past, and present. The beginning of my podcast journey starts here. I guess this is where I provide insight into who I am, my experiences, why I decided on the title Rapping PE, the purpose and the general direction I hope this podcast takes. You can look forward to hearing about that when you click the 'play button,' but I just wanted to point out that at no point in my life did I ever envision or imagine myself on a platform such as a podcast due to my naturally introverted personality. I never dreamed I would have ever in a million years become a teacher, but here I am, on a podcast, talking to the world from the perspective of a white cis-gender male whose an urban educator. Life is bizarre in that we are shaped by our experiences and how we define those experiences and that is the goal of this podcast; To explore the experiences that shaped and defined us! I hope you learn from my podcast just as much as I have during the process of researching how to make a podcast, developing topics, recruiting guests, and recording podcasts itself. I hope you choose to take the journey with me as we explore the great world of Physical Education from the contextual experiences of educators from all over the world. Here's a little sneak peak into why the title Rapping PE was selected. I decided on Rapping PE because of the numerous meanings the word ‘rapping’ has; it can mean to talk or chat in an easy and familiar manner; rap can also mean to strike with a sharp blow; it references the spoken word or ‘rapping’ in poetry, music, and is a component of Hip Hop.
