I’m joined by Mac Buchwald — a teacher, musician, actor, and lifelong lover of stories. We dive into his journey from local theatre stages to the classroom, and how literature shaped his outlook on life. Mac shares his thoughts on Mary Shelley and why the poets of the past were the rockstars of their time. We talk about the power of words, the role of education in today’s world, and what it means to pass on creative passion to the next generation.
