Episode 248 - Class Is in Session: Who Was Your Favorite Teacher?

About this episode

Mitch Albom reflects on the impact of favorite teachers and shares personal stories about educators who inspired him.

On this week's Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom invites us to reflect on the teachers who changed our lives. Who was your favorite teacher, and what did they give you that still shapes who you are today? Mitch shares stories about the educators who inspired him before—and including—Morrie, and we hear a moving clip from Morrie himself about what led him to become a professor. It’s a heartfelt conversation about encouragement, curiosity, and the lifelong impact of having someone who truly believes in you. We’d love to hear about your favorite teacher and how they supported and inspired you—your story might even be featured on a future episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
