Thank you Lauren for this valuable share at the end (for now) of Open Education “Week”- thanks to you and Deakin University to keeping the pulse going with events and activities.
And I am excited now to add Stories of Open podcast to my listening app and add it as well to [our collection of Open Education Podcasts](https://podcast.oeglobal.org/collection/).
