Coffee & Geography Espresso - 10 - Heatwaves, School Closures & Safeguarding (with Alistair Hamill)

‘Espresso’ & Geography is a #MiniGeogs #podcast short where Kit Marie and special guests talk current geographical affairs for a maximum of 15 minutes. Except this one was so much of a hot topic, it became a full-length episode. This quadruple shot of geography-laden caffeine welcomes the wonderful Alistair Hamill back to the #CoffeeGeogPod coffeehouse. Earlier today, Alistair and I reviewed some of the talking points from Thursday's Teacher's Talk Radio (TTR) Points of View discussion on heatwaves and schools through a geographical-lens. Please do take the time to listen to the full discussion over on TTR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGMu6LF4VCs / https://www.facebook.com/ttradioofficial/videos/27147212734938414/ and offer your thoughts.
