We can’t believe it:  this week BubbleUp Classroom is celebrating its 50th blog post! We are so grateful to be on this journey with you, as we all strive in big and small ways to be the best educators we can be. 

As our little way of saying thank you for hanging out with us through our first 50 posts, we’ve amped up our Take5 into Take50. It’s a list of 50 dynamic podcasts, blogs and folks to follow on Instragram, Twitter, and Pinterest. 
As always, we think that when we collaborate that great ideas bubble up so we hope that this Take50 sparks your interest, offers you new perspective, and brings you joy.

So take a breather; Take50!
​

And again, thanks.
Gretchen and Corey

Podcasts
We are both admitted podcast addicts; don't forget other favorites we have already shared in previous posts like Happier with Gretchen Rubin and Reply All!

1. StartUp - what’s it really like to start a business? Each season offers a serialized story about a start up company

2. Criminal - true crime stories with good guys, bad guys, and moral quandries; host Phoebe Judge is a magical storyteller.

3. Embedded- stories that dive deep into places we don't always go; the stories are full of both journalistic integrity and emotion not usually present in news reporting

4. Sleepover- host Sook-Yin Lee gathers three strangers together for a sleepover; each person brings with them a problem, in search of a solution

5. Crimetown- each season will focus on the culture of crime in a different American city; season one takes place in Providence, Rhode Island and is full of organized crime and political corruption

6. Twice Removed - a family history podcast that traces a new person’s lineage each week finding connections that thrill or confound

7. How I Built This - entrepreneurs dishing about the ups and downs of creating their companies.

8. Eliza Starting at 16 - a candid glimpse into the daily life of a high school senior living in Manhattan

9. Brains On! Science Podcast for Kids - from Minnesota Public Radio, each episode addresses a specific science-related topic or question -- super engaging for kids and adults alike

10. Sampler - a 30-episode podcast on podcasts, each episode offers new shows on a theme or topic
