Thanks for listening!
UPDATE: As Jason Anderson points out in his comment below, the quote in the episode which was attributed to Spada and Tomita was actually from Scheffler (2015).

Hi guys,
Many thanks for covering my PPP research in podcast 49. Very interesting discussion, and a balanced consideration of different theoretical frameworks linked nicely to classroom practice. Well done.
Just one tiny correction. You read out a quote, and I think you said it was from the Spada and Tomita 2010 paper (“If PPP is nonsense…”). It was from Scheffler’s reference to that paper in his defence of PPP from ELTJ in 2015.
Thanks for your comment Jason, and for the correction! We’ll add a note to the blogpost clarifying that point.
