TV Matters Podcast

Welcome to TV Matters, where I connect with the education professions who are shaping the future of video production in our schools. Our guests include exceptional high school video teachers, leading college professors, the influential administration who fund programs at the distinct, state or national level, and you’ll hear from people who are adjacent to video education. Those folks might be from companies offering certification programs on cutting-edge software, dedicated nonprofits promoting media literacy, and visionary EdTech investors.

I’m your host, Misha Tenenbaum, CEO of EditMentor and EditStock.com, two video education companies on a mission to modernize the way all of us teach and learn video storytelling. At EditMentor, we believe that video is a universal language through which learners—irrespective of their age, gender, wealth, ethnicity and geography—can grasp how to profoundly impact a global audience to start a business, create art, and perhaps even change the world.
