Louise speaks to two teachers who have inspired her

“I come from a family of teachers.”
Acclaimed author Louise O’Neill returns as curator of Teachers Inspire and the host of the Teachers Inspire podcast of 2022.  
Teachers Inspire wants to celebrate the life-changing influence that so many teachers have had so it seemed appropriate to open the podcast of 2022 by chatting to the teacher who had that influence on Louise.
So, for the first time publicly, Louise introduces us to Jo Keane, the teacher who gave her a copy of The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood and they talk about their memories of that day.
In her reflection after the 2021 awardees were announced, Louise commented how she came not from a family of writers, but from a family of teachers. For this first episode, Louise introduces us to her sister Michelle, who is a primary school teacher. They discuss why Michelle wanted to teach and what she gets from her job.
