About Bored Teachers

Bored Teachers is the #1 teacher-entertainment media company in the world. With more than 10 million followers, the #1 ranking teacher podcast, and over a BILLION video views on the Internet, it's a one-stop portal to share laughter, release stress, and advocate for teachers by shining the light on global issues in education through comedy. Teachers everywhere subscribe to Bored Teachers for all the relatable teacher humor produced in their viral comedy tour, hilarious skits, sarcastic social posts, classroom anecdotes, top-of-the-charts podcasts, and comical articles.

Over 9 years ago, Bored Teachers was born from the sweat, tears, and a love-hate relationship with the teacher profession. Founders James and Marilou Tarantino were classroom teachers and avid travelers, where they met and shared stories with teachers from all over the world who went through the same struggles as educators. Through these shared sentiments, they began a community on social media sharing--through humorous skits, memes, and articles—the very real experiences, true stories, and honest feelings about just how complex and undervalued teachers everywhere are. The feelings were so relatable that the engagement exploded from like-minded educators, and the Bored Teachers creative team expanded into a production powerhouse with more and more hilarious writers, content creators, and comedians garnering tens of millions of views on every skit, story, and podcast clip posted to the Bored Teachers channels.
