"Along the Lines" is a conversational podcast started during the Covid-19 pandemic.  

Beginning the first episodes in lockdown, and unable to meet each guest in person, the conversations had to take place along the phone lines.
Each episode is along the lines of... whatever subject/s are interesting and relevant (to the guest/s) at the time of recording.

In this episode, Dan talks to Nic about a few different topics that include...

- Nic's journey into, and through, the teaching profession
- Learning and Teaching Maths
- Struggles to teach during this pandemic
- Specific Year-Groups selected to return to school
- Middle schools and year 8 students falling through the holes in the school returning planning
- The view that our UK government have made key mistakes
- Year 8s transitioning to Upper School
- Nic's journey of being gay and being a teacher
- Becoming a "LGBT Champion"
- Nic first realising that she was gay
- Gender stereotypes and how people self-identify
- Difference between Sex and Gender
- Positive ways to treat and interact with individuals identifying with the LGBT+ community
