We are so pleased to introduce our hilarious friend and brilliant teacher, Rach, as our special guest judge in this episode! It is a truth universally acknowledged that teachers have the funniest, craziest and most embarrassing work stories of all the professions out there. And if it is not universally acknowledged, it should be, as we all know at least one teacher (if we are not one ourselves) and we have all heard the crazy sh*t they get up to! So in this episode, we have cherry-picked our favourites from our lives, our friends and beyond for your listening pleasure and I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Expect fake-injury pranks gone wrong, innocent year 7s screaming obscenities, questionable pilgrimages on school grounds and the First Christmas Tree of the Zombie Apocalypse. Enjoy! A huge thank you to Emma, Cat, Hannah and *Kelly* who had their stories featured and a massive thank you to everyone who sent one in! Got a teacher confession for us?
