I’m so excited to share this, today! When I wrote the first post in the series, I just intended to write about my ever-expanding list of favorite podcasts. In my first real review, I wrote that The Homeschool Snapshots Podcast was my favorite. When Pam found out that April 20 (tomorrow!) was my 15th year of…
For Today… Outside my window…. it is practically perfect in every way. Not a cloud in the sky. Warm and vibrant. I am thinking… about books, propriety, generalization vs. specialization … so many thinks! I am thankful… for this thing called blogging. I’ve had a platform to think, to befriend, to learn, to grow and…
Last week’s Podcast Addicted featured Read-Aloud Revival and building a family culture of books. One of Sarah’s guests this season was Anne Bogel, of Modern Mrs. Darcy fame. On that episode, Anne and Sarah talked about making time to be a reader even as a busy parent. The book slinging was fantastic. On her blog,…
So, I’m pretty certain RAR needs no introduction. It is, however, the podcast that addicted me to podcasts, so certainly deserves a place in this series. I was cleaning children’s bedrooms, and had to have something to listen to and decided to try out Read Aloud Revival. I powered through all that were available at…
The Simply Charlotte Mason Audio Blog is a different kind of podcast than the others. It isn’t an interview. It is something of an advertisement. It isn’t a discussion. Sonya Shafer simply reads their blog posts aloud. And I very much like it. SCM has always been good at putting together excellent resources for the…
The ladies from Living Books Library, Sabbath Mood Homeschool, and the writer of SCM’s (awesome) Picture Study Portfolios are producing a Charlotte Mason podcast called “A Delectable Education.” And it’s delectable. They discuss one aspect of CM philosophy each episode and try to adhere to a “short lesson” format. I’ve listened to not quite half…
I have long considered Cindy Rollins one of my Homeschooling Mentors. Her now defunct blog, Ordo Amoris, was pivotal to drawing me away from neo-classicism and into a more traditional Classical educational system via Charlotte Mason. Her book clubs (though I failed to finish a single one with the group) led to some of the…
I doubt it will come as a surprise that The Scholé Sisters Podcast is next on my list. This is a brand new podcast, just starting in January with only a handful of episodes so far. But what episodes they are! I love how conversational on really deep topics these are. The Scholé Sisters (Brandy, Mystie,…
As education podcasts go, Your Morning Basket is so helpful. We’ve done Circle Time in our homeschool for years and years. This past fall and now early winter have been our best times yet, and as I’ve been thinking about it, part of it is my easing back on expectations and being more flexible besides. That…
This series isn’t a countown. I’m just planning on sharing my favorite podcasts. As a home educator, most of them are directly about homeschooling, and I’m going to do the education ones first. That being said, I’ll let you in on a little secret. Homeschool Snapshosts is my favorite. I think it’s because I’m inherently…
