No Silly Questions- An Education Podcast for Parents
by Danielle Freilich and Jordana Fruchter
July 13, 2025 11:00 pm
Welcome to No Silly Questions, with your hosts Danielle Freilich and Jordana Fruchter, two New York City educators, school leaders and friends. We were inspired to develop No Silly Questions, after noticing how often our friends were calling us with education-related questions for their kids! Asking us for our insight on everything from the different pedagogical approaches, to developmental milestones in the first few years of life, to navigating how to support their child’s learning needs – you name it! We could see there was a need to provide parents with relatable, research-based answers from true experts in the field. On this podcast, you’ll hear from pediatric neuropsychologists, elected school officials, ed. tech entrepreneurs, play advocates, professors of multiple intelligence theory and more to bridge the gap of information and strengthen your parent tool kit. We want all parents to know that there is no such thing as a silly question.
