In the inaugural episode of SatCast, Chris Nesi and Joe Dziuba introduce the show's purpose and the community they hope to build. Drawing on the legacy of educator Twitter chats like #satchat, Chris and Joe reflect on how digital connections in education have evolved since the pandemic. This episode lays the foundation for SatCast as a space for slower, more intentional dialogue, centered on a single guiding question per episode. You are invited to actively participate by sharing reflections, questions, and voicemails that will help shape future conversations, beginning with a powerful focus on community in education today.

1. The rise and impact of educator Twitter chats (2014–2020)
2. How the pandemic reshaped professional connections in education
3. Nostalgia vs. evolution: why SatCast isn’t a reboot, but a reimagining
4. The importance of authentic, educator-led conversation
5. Supporting both novice and veteran educators through shared voice
6. Introducing the SatCast format: one question, community-driven dialogue

What does community actually mean in today’s education spaces?

And how do we know when we’re part of one—how do we find one, or even build one ourselves?

SatCast begins a new chapter by reimagining how educators connect, reflect, and share their voices in today’s world. Hosted by Chris Nesi and Joe Dziuba, this episode introduces the heart of SatCast: a slower, more intentional podcast built around one central question per episode, focused on teaching, leadership, learning, and life in education. Listeners are invited not just to listen, but to participate by sharing reflections, questions, and voicemails that help shape future conversations. SatCast isn’t about recreating what once was. It’s about building a meaningful educator community for where we are now.
