Homeschool Together Podcast

I love this podcast. It has great information and resources. The episodes are entertaining and informative.

I love the refreshing take the hosts have on the homeschool journey. The recent episode, about why they chose homeschooling, would be perfect for interested families to hear. When I started homeschooling my first, now an adult, people were choosing secular homeschooling for many of the same reasons that the hosts lay out- but in my local groups now, I’m seeing so many choose homeschooling out of fear and last resort- it’s changing the local climate a little bit for people looking for groups, co-ops, etc. I feel like Matt and Arial are bringing the joy and intention back and I hope new listeners find their optimistic and family centered outlook as contagious as I do! Currently, Arial and Matt focus on the primary ages, but there’s still content here even for the most veteran secular homeschooler with elementary kids still at home. They offer resources beyond their podcast that I am eager to dig into more as my last child reaches preschool age.

I found this podcast (and the youtube channel) a couple months ago and have been binging the content ever since. As a new homeschooler the podcast is full of such great information, tips, and curriculum recommendations. Arial and Matthew have eased so many of my fears and made the overwhelming task of starting to homeschool so much easier. I'd absolutely recommend this podcast to any homeschooler - new or veteran.

I could go on and on about how much I love this podcast! I am a new homeschooling mom to a prek kid and after joining every Facebook group possible, including the Homeschool Together Podcast one, I was overwhelmed but thinking I had a grip on what I was doing. In December 2023 I bought Blossom and Root and attempted to start but only made it a week before heading back to work from maternity leave. Fast forward to June and I saw a post from the group and was like oh I didn’t even realize this was one of the groups I joined, so o started on episode 1 from back in 2020 and I have been listening to this podcast non stop since then! Arial and Matt are just awesome. The content/topics, the time and research they put in to each episode, the short bites, the interviews, seriously just amazing! It truly resonates with me and my family because I work full time and my husband works part time at night to be able to stay at home with our children, we are secular and are using the same curriculum! I am obsessed with Trello and even brought it into work for my team to use! I am consistently learning new things and getting inspired daily on how to be a better homeschooling partner! I also think their voices are so calming haha! My 10 month old instantly stop fussing in the car when I turn this on haha! Seriously I could keep gushing about this podcast. If you’re new to homeschooling this is an absolute must listen!!
