Pedagogy, Pixels, and the Power of Writing: The Late Show with James Radburn

In this episode of The Late Show with James Radburn, we explore the evolving intersection of talk, writing, and technology in education. Joined by educational leaders Shareen Wilkinson and Julie Carson, we unpack how classroom conversation is shifting, why writing across the curriculum matters more than ever, and how AI is transforming the way students and teachers engage with literacy. From oracy as a tool for social justice to the risks and rewards of generative AI in writing instruction, this episode dives deep into real classroom practices and national policy tensions. Backed by insights from Shareen and Julie’s experiences and expertise, we ask: Are we at risk of losing the art of writing? And what should schools do next?
