Episodes
We're back with Moments in History Volume 2. In volume 2 we have a President who was also a professional wrestler, a sandwich in space, garden hermits, and bat bombs. That last one wasn't a typo.
A fan-favorite of Teacher's Lounge has been our Moments in History. It's been a while since we've had one and since we need a week off to prepare for an important Visiting Professor on the Balderdash Academy podcast we've decided to compile some of the popular ones here. Here are almost 2 and a half hours of the faculty performing select moments in history. We'll be back with Episode 30 in two weeks!
While the faculty try to plan what happens next in extracurricular activities Officer Broderick gets a clean bill of health, Flip Axeman is back with the House of Heavy Metal, we hear from Balderdash County's ad firm, and the Doctor gives a review. Don't miss this next episode of Balderdash Academy's Teacher's Lounge.
The faculty plans Balderdash County Old Home Days, ziplines make an appearance, the Ghoulle family opens a Scare B&B and BCPD responds to a jailbreak all in this episode of Balderdash Academy's Teacher's Lounge.
After a seagull-related mishap at the school, a number of faculty have the week off. With so few staff on-site, things get weird.
We have teachers out and few subs to speak of. Can the school survive until the professors get back? When they do, will the staff behave?
We meet new faces in Balderdash County after our professors spitball some ideas in their afternoon meeting.
From botanical gardens to confidence schemes, we explore it all in this episode of Balderdash Academy's Teacher's Lounge.
It’s time to be candid here at Balderdash Academy. Candid assessments at the school, confessions at work, reality in finances, truth in family visits, a deal gone wrong, and much more in this candid episode.
Weird disturbances happen throughout the County. Lights in the sky, cows go missing, and a strange object above city hall. The BCPD is on the scene. Should we panic? Yes. Yes, we should.
Graffiti and misunderstandings abound in the Teacher's Lounge. This week we find out that Albert, everyone's favorite janitor, has an enemy, we get aggressive with your finances, check-in with the Botanist's Club, and listen to Hot Tuna.
On Valentine's Day substitute teachers Patrick Darne and Gertie Gorsch got engaged live on Balder 97.5's House of Heavy Metal. After a few months, the faculty are finally getting around to help plan for the big day.
It's almost Balderdash Bill Day in Balderdash County. Will Balderdash Bill see his shadow and give us 6 more weeks of mud season?
Balderdash Academy allows Sam Squatch and the Balderdash Cryptid Society to launch an investigation in the school's woods while Homer and Hiram hunt for the Balderdash Pond Hermit.
We have a blast recording the podcast. Sometimes the giggles come and we can’t hold it in. Here’s what happens when the recording devolves into us barely keeping it together.
The faculty find an interesting way to fix a landscaping issue. The results get out of hand.
In September we took a break after ending Season One and developed Balderdash Academy's Teacher's Lounge. Before we settled on the narrative improv format we were playing around with new game ideas. Steve presented a version of his "Steve's Brain" game. This one proved too long for inclusion into the game show or Teacher's Lounge, but it was too good to let go.
We weren't sure if we would ever release this episode. It was taped on 1/06/21. We are distracted, raw, and all over the place. Our suggestions bordered from the juvenile to the bizarre. As the night progressed we got sillier and, in some cases, a little drunk. This is our catharsis. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode.
Today is Founder's Day here at Balderdash Academy. Join us in our celebration by listening to our preparations while playing the games that started it all. Download our official Balderdash Academy Founder's Day Games and play on!
Edgar and Karen make a sole-stealing discovery deep in the caverns under Balderdash Academy while there is a string of break-ins around Balderdash Pond in this episode of Balderdash Academy’s Teacher’s Lounge.
Balderdash Academy’s Teacher’s Lounge is back as its own podcast! In this episode, our founders left an enormous time capsule on the school's campus. Can the faculty raise enough money to see what's hidden beneath the massive monolith?

Welcome to the Teacher's Lounge.
Wait, isn't this an off-week? That's right, but the first season of our main show is over, so we're filling the space with more Teacher's Lounge.
In this Teacher's Lounge, Coach Steve comes into an unexpected inheritance and we get to see him navigate the pitfalls of it all.
We're all celebrating the big VD here at the school. That's right. Valentine's Day. While the staff plan for the big dance we meet some students from Professor McGill's Adult ELA class. Get some new music in the stacks of the local record store, and then settle into Mort and Mindy's ASMR Corner and Flip Axeman's House of Heavy Metal on Balder 97.5. All this and more on Balderdash Academy Teacher's Lounge.
In this episode of the Teacher's Lounge, we prepare for the annual Balderdash Film Festival. We listen to the BCPD on the scanner and find out that there's a report of a robbery in the village. We hear the pitches for some of the submissions and check-in with the PPP Pawnshop to look for some of the stolen items. We stop into the Balder Dash & Dine for lunch and pick up some unnamed items from Tender Vittles. And finally, we listen to Mort and Minty as they sit in for Flip Axeman on Balder 97.5 House of Heavy Metal.
In this episode of the Teacher's Lounge, we meet back in with our pair of substitutes, listen in on the student's morning announcement show, and uncover the mysteries of Balderdash Academy. We then take a trip to Balderdash Village where we listen in to Mort and Mindy's ASMR Corner on Balder 97.5, explore the trend of Artisanal shops in town, and sit in on a meeting of the BBBC with their special guest Coach Steve.
