Lee and Adam Parkinson’s podcast has been listened to more than five million times -

Lee Parkinson and his younger brother Adam must be two of the busiest people in primary education.

As well as their day jobs in Manchester primary schools they host the hugely successful Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast), swapping light-hearted stories and musing about topics like work/life balance, innovation and creativity, and the use of technology in schools.

We first caught up with the pair almost a year ago (Headteacher Update, 2021) and since then the podcast, which only launched in 2018, has passed five million listens. On top of that, the pair recently completed a nationwide live tour (they have one more event in Newcastle upon Tyne on October 22) and have written two books.
