EP 15: 🎙️ Classmates, School Boards & Slam Dunks with Megan Timme
In this episode of From the Playground to the Foreground, Jon Altschuler and Scott Bennett are joined by former classmate and current Richardson ISD school board member Megan Timme—and it’s a reunion packed with laughs, memories, and meaningful conversation.
They swap stories from their own school days, shout out favorite teachers, and talk about why top teacher pay is more important than ever—especially as Jon campaigns for the HPISD board.
It’s also Day 711 since Scott’s heart transplant, and of course he brings a “prop” to commemorate the milestone (because of course he does).
Plus, Megan shares proud mom moments from watching her son Drew Timme rise through college hoops and into the NBA—yes, that Drew Timme.
Heartfelt, hilarious, and a little nostalgic—this one’s got it all.
