The EdUp Experience Podcast 2020 Year-End Review EdUp Experience 2020 has been a year full of ups and downs–EdUp Experience highlights their top favourite episodes filled with insights from higher ed leaders. Sometime in early January of 2020, Elvin Freytes texted Dr. Joe Sallustio. The text read, “Hey, I have an idea”. Joe typed back to Elvin and sent the message, “I don’t care what it is, I’m in”. That is the short story about how The EdUp Experience podcast was created. We stumbled, bumbled, and somehow made it through the first five episodes before coming up with our best idea to date – adding Elizabeth Leiba as our partner and co-host! There have been so many reasons for us to look back on 2020 and discuss why it was an unprecedented and unique year both inside and outside of higher education. For The EdUp Experience, 2020 was the year we created, promoted, and grew our podcast to heights we didn’t think possible – this has cemented our original thought that the higher ed space was hungry for new content and new voices. In this year-end summary, we thought we could provide some insights into our goals, favorite episodes, and milestone moments.
