On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Vice Principal UnOfficed host Lisa Hill recalls some very memorable substitute teachers and the quirkiness they brought to the classroom. From puking to magic shows, there are some substitute teachers who seem to be able to do it all except for the one thing they were actually hired to do, which is teach.

These so-called "historical changes" often feel like watching a bad comedy that just won’t end. Maybe that’s because the biggest decisions in education are usually made by people who have zero K-12 classroom experience.
