What would Pam do? We get so many great answers to that classic question on this week's episode. Pamela shares her unique perspective on Webster Thomas and all of its interpersonal connections. The school secretaries are the first ones in and the last ones out every day, and have perhaps the greatest ability to observe and influence the whole building. This episode is brought to you by Ridge Donuts; grab some fritter and a coffee and let's find some clarity.

Steve and Mitch stroll down memory lane with the godfather of the podcast and the finest of fine arts educators Mr Todd Stahl. This episode is packed with origin stories, pedagogy(!) and core memories. Grab some coffee, a canvas, and some charcoal. Let's fail forwards towards some clarity in the cold.

Webster Thomas legend Joe Zaccardo chops it up with his brother and a starstruck fan boy. We discussed what the glory days were really like under the helmet(s), and the lessons he learned, from tee ball to the Carrier Dome, that he still carries around 20 years later. Grab some popcorn and prepare for goosebumps.

Mitch tries hosting solo with the other half of MEKK (Molly, Ella, Kate, and Kelly). Molly and Ella cut their teeth together on the ice for the Webster Lakers... Kate and Kelly did it for just as long, but performing on stage. We discuss how they process the emotions of big decisions, as well as what they've learned about themselves and how they've grown along the way. Grab a sugar-free baja blast and get comfortable!

A lifetime Warrior (and RL Thomas grad) Shawn Strege joins the pod for a deep dive into the class of '94 lore, sports & mental health, and some mindfulness-based stress reduction. Grab a hot coffee, because there are chills galore in this episode.

A Penguin and an Eagle take us through the birth and rise of the Webster Lakers ice hockey team. Buckle up for a bus ride with two student-athletes from opposite sides of the ridge who didn't just play a game—they made history. Join us as we sit down with members of the very first girls' varsity hockey team in Section V. Ella and Molly discuss the grit, joy, agony, and legacy of the first three seasons of the program.

Erika and the bearded ones dive deep into the compassion and unconditional love that resides at the core of an educator. We share mantras, mindsets, and Big Mike's movie moment. You should absolutely grab a coffee and get comfortable for this one. We love love and we love you!

Three-time Grammy nominee and founding father of the T-Birds, Dr Kyle Sackett joins the pod as the first ever guest on Northern Attitude. Kyle discusses the winding road that led him back to his alma mater 14 years after he graduated, and provides an oral history of the genesis of the Webster Thomas fan section. Before he leaves to go back to rehearsal, Dr Sackett shares his coaching style that he uses to get his performers ready for the bright lights of the big stage.
