Around the World with Mr. Clark

Based on Clark Vandeventer's work on Outschool and other platforms. In Clark's very popular class on Outschool titled "Around the World with Mr. Clark," students "travel" to a different country every week and learn about what it'd be like to visit that place. This podcast shares some of the highlights while also delving into other cool stuff Clark is discovering as he guides his students around the world. The Why Don't We Do That? series (WDWDT Edition) features interviews with interesting people about their travels. Check out aClark's classes out Outschool at https://bit.ly/clarkonoutschool
