Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
It’s so nice to find such a solid, secular podcast.
I’m impressed by how technically and factually you guys break things down, and truly make things seem quite doable. I’m just starting homeschooling, with a four year old and one year old, so I feel like the beginning of this podcast was made for me! Thank you both for all the resources (and yes, I’m now on Trello 😜)
Thanks for reducing my anxiety!!
I’ve been listening for a while and, even though my kids are older, I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned on this podcast for our 5th, 7th, and 11th graders. My husband and I attended public school and were both in gifted programs, so you can understand that our anxiety re: homeschooling was off the charts (especially since two of our kiddos are also GT/Honors). We are only six months into our homeschooling journey, and we are continuing to chip away at our preconceived ideas on how school *should* be. This podcast has reduced our anxiety and has greatly helped us as we rethink school for our family. I cannot thank you guys enough.
My Favorite Podcast
There are two things I absolutely cannot homeschool without: the Homeschool Together podcast and coffee (the order would depend on the time of day). This podcast is, by far, my favorite resource for homeschooling. Many of the podcasts I have come across are mainly filled with interviews that are essentially advertisements for homeschool-related products, and I find myself having to pick and choose specific episodes that might be useful. Homeschool Together is different. Arial and Matt offer advice, give reviews, and talk about real issues that have directly related to my homeschool plans. Seriously, their curriculum reviews and resources are so helpful! The topics are so spot on that I’ve found myself thinking, “Oh, that one won’t apply to me,” and then months later, searching for that same episode because it’s exactly the topic I want to know about. Also, I love the dynamic between Arial and Matt. My husband and I share our homeschool responsibilities so it’s helpful to hear Matt’s perspective as a homeschool dad. As an obsessive planner and book/game addict, Arial’s advice is like that of a trusted friend. Seriously, if you are homeschooling or thinking of homeschooling, listen to this podcast. It will inspire you. It will encourage you. It will entertain you. What more can you ask from a podcast?
