Homeschool podcasts have become a go-to resource for new ideas, fresh perspective, and encouragement on our homeschool journey.

As homeschool moms, we are busy right? No time to add anything else to our plates. I remember using that as an excuse a few years ago when a friend started talking to me about homeschool podcasts. She was telling me about this awesome podcast she listened to from Heidi St. John. I let her know that I quite frankly didn’t have time to listen to podcasts.

Fast forward a few years and I realize how easily portable podcasts are. Instead of needing to find time to sit down and read, I can listen to a podcast while doing dishes, folding laundry, or driving the kids to sports practice. And now? I am obsessed with podcasts. Particularly those created for the homeschool mom.

I love them so much I even started my own! You can learn more about the Joyfully Homeschooling podcast here.

Long drive? Listen to a podcast.

Cleaning day? Listen to a podcast while knocking out the household chores.

Working out? Get some encouragement while walking on the treadmill.

Podcasts have allowed me to get to know some of my favorite bloggers on a more personal level. They are more intimate, down to earth, and real.

There are many reasons why you should listen to homeschool podcasts. Let’s take a look at some of those reasons.

Why You Should Listen to Homeschool Podcasts

For Your Own Entertainment

Honestly, I just really enjoy listening to podcasts. As a busy working homeschool mom, I have a hard time finding the time to sit down and read. Watching an episode of TV proves to be challenging as well. But, listening to podcasts is something I can fit into my day with little to no effort. AND, I leave the time spent feeling refreshed, encouraged, and entertained. Oftentimes I feel like I just had a conversation with a good friend, nothing speaks entertainment more than that!

Secular Homeschool Podcasts

The vast majority of information out there for homeschoolers speak to those of the Christian faith. However, I know that many of you prefer a logic-based approach to home education. Some of you may not be of the same faith as me, and I want to respect you all too.

So, I perused the homeschool podcasts out there and found as many good quality ones as possible that speak to the heart of home education without the faith-based content that many in the homeschool niche contain. I hope this list of secular homeschool podcasts help you!

Dear homeschool moms, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. I know those hours are spent caring for our little ones, they are spent folding laundry, educating our children, cooking and so much more. Too often times we allow days at a time go by without us stopping and caring for ourselves. Homeschool podcasts allow us to spend some of that time encouraging ourselves, training ourselves, and refreshing our mind.
