Where Insight Meets Energy: Higher Ed Conversations Done Right
The EdUp Experience is exactly what higher education conversations should sound like: engaging, thoughtful, and energizing. The dialogue is mature and meaningful, tackling the issues that matter most right now: student success, the smart use of technology, and how we can turn real challenges into genuine opportunities.
What truly sets EdUp apart is the way learning feels effortless and fun. The hosts listen deeply, ask the right questions, and create space for authentic exchange. Add in the music and sound effects, and the experience becomes both informative and entertaining never dry, never predictable. True "edutainment."
EdUp proves that serious topics can be explored with heart, humor, and momentum—and higher education is better for it.

Great podcast for edtech and innovation
Overall great podcast with impactful guests. Not fluff - asking real questions that folks in the field find interesting and useful. Relevant and insightful. Plus, Joe is a ton of fun to listen to!
Always Learning
I've had the pleasure of being guest. However, I don't think I am biased when I say that whenever I have listened to other guests in the past what I like most is I am sure to learn something either inspiring or something I can bring to my work.
Great Discussion
My experience as a guest was fantastic. Thanks so much to Joe and Amanda Micheli for hosting me. This is a great platform for higher education leaders to learn from each other providing different perspectives through different parts of the academy.
Outstanding experience as a guest with EdUp!
Thank you to Joe and the entire EdUP! team for hosting an exceptional experience for me as a guest of your podcast. The topics we discussed were timely and relevant to the continually changing environment of higher education and community colleges specifically. Joe's warm and engaging personality encouraged me to feel both welcomed and confident in sharing my lived experiences as a community college president at Glendale Community College, Arizona. I highly recommend this opportunity to all who are interested in sharing their ideas and good work with the world.

A no-miss opportunity
I had such a great time joining the EdUp Experience Podcast. Joe and Elvin made the conversation both fun and substantive—digging into the real challenges and opportunities facing higher ed right now, especially as we think about AI, workforce pathways, and the future of apprenticeship degrees.
What I appreciate about EdUp is that they don’t just skim headlines. They create space for big ideas, for hard questions, and for practical solutions that can actually help students and employers today. It felt less like a podcast interview and more like a thoughtful conversation with colleagues who genuinely care about the future of education.
If you’re looking for smart, timely dialogue about where our sector is headed—and what it’s going to take to get there—I’d definitely recommend giving EdUp a listen.
It was an honor and a priviledge
It was an incredible experience being a guest on the Ed Up podcast. Joe was a very gracious and well informed host and asked great questions. I really appreciated the exposure being on the podcast gave our university www.Unisant.us . Thank you, Joe, for inviting me.
Education, Business, and Positivity
Joe is fun, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. He brings such positive energy to the conversation and makes it easy to dive into big topics. We talked about all things education sector and what it takes to grow a business, and Joe guided the discussion with insight, warmth and humor. A great experience from start to finish.
Thoughtful Approach to IT and Higher ED
The podcast provides an insightful exploration of IT issues in higher education, particularly focusing on the impact and implications of artificial intelligence. The hosts effectively break down complex concepts, making them accessible to a broader audience. Their discussion highlights not only the challenges that institutions face in implementing AI technologies but also the potential benefits for enhancing the educational experience. They feature expert guests who share valuable perspectives and real-world examples, which adds depth to the conversation. Overall, it's an engaging listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and education. Highly recommended!
A lot of fun!
I’ve been listening to the EdUp Experience for a long time now and really enjoyed coming on the show. Joe made the discussion very conversational and clearly knows the space very well. It was a great opportunity to discuss the type of problems we’re trying to solve at Scholarly and the future of AI in higher education. Highly recommend!

Great experience!
It was a great experience talking with Joe and co-host Andrew! They made it easy, fun, and a great conversation!
Verbal Sound Effects
I really appreciate the insights and conversations shared on this podcast, but I wanted to offer some feedback regarding the added verbal sound effects (e.g., “excellent,” “bull's eye,” etc.). I found them a bit distracting, and they seemed to take away from the core message or ideas being presented. As someone who listens to podcasts regularly, this approach felt out of place and, at times, diminished the overall professionalism of the content. I believe the conversations are strong enough to stand on their own without added effects. Just a suggestion to consider for future episodes!
Plentiful Strategies
The thing I appreciate the most about this podcast are the wide variety of guests who all provide practical, actionable strategies for higher ed leaders. Great listening!

Strategies, Solutions and Change Agents for Higher Ed
I’ve been a subscriber of this podcast for a few years. It’s a rare opportunity for people to hear the voices and connect with senior thought leaders who are leading organizations, policy and change. I have enjoyed getting to know. Some of the individuals who are tackling the challenges of today, and making plans for the shifts required for the economy.
Higher Ed is where change begins and when there are no shortage of challenges, it’s a place that brings hope and opportunity. This podcast is awesome for meeting some of the people who make it happen in their local colleges and make an impact globally.
