What Does Being 'Educated' Mean?

What does it actually mean to be “educated”? Is it degrees on a wall, the ability to think critically, or something far less comfortable, like having your assumptions challenged? In this episode, we unpack the difference between knowledge and intelligence, schooling and learning, and credentials versus real-world understanding. From experts who get it wrong to outsiders who see things clearly, we explore whether modern education systems are producing thinkers… or just well-trained rule followers.

Expect sharp takes, uncomfortable questions, and a few sacred cows getting knocked over. Because being “educated” might not mean what you think it does.

About your host

David Lodge

David has lived a weird and wonderful life, full of adventure and mistakes (many, many mistakes).
His dream of working as a stockbroker was crushed and he found himself as a young apprentice sweeping floors in a barbershop. After 20 years of bad jokes and bullshit, he would eventually find his way to university culminating in over 15 years of work in the Higher Education sector. David’s journey from humble apprentice to global corporate traveller has seen him learn that, while people of the world have many differences, there is a common theme to how they learn, grow, succeed and achieve happiness. That pathway is through the freedom to be oneself, speak one’s mind, make mistakes, essentially, having a right, to be wrong.
