AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama

For many years now, Afterthoughts has been a sort of intellectual watering hole for all of you classical, Charlotte Mason homeschooling mamas out there – I like to call you Afterthinkers. You are thinking people – idea people – who never let a good book go to waste. You keep yourselves intellectually agile by reading books, often old books, seeking out the best that has been thought and said, and mixing it into your everyday lives of laundry and dishes and dinner and long division. At Afterthoughts, we have spent over a decade nourishing our minds on theology, educational philosophy, and a million other books and subjects thrown in – all the while bringing these ideas into a direct collision course with our daily lives. Because what good is an idea if we don’t use it – live it, breathe it? As an audio companion, this podcast is a chance to hear Afterthoughts blog posts rather than read them. Couple that with some bonus content focused on books and interviews, and you’ve got AfterCast.

Today is NOT just a review. Yes, we walk through everything we’ve learned over this huge series and remind ourselves of the amazingly numerous possibilities. But the point isn’t the review – the point is to think of these as categories and then discover what similar options exist for us today. I think you’ll find some real gems to help keep you learning in the midst of your busy days.

Today we begin to end our Learning How to Live series. We’re heading toward application. Before we get too practical, we need to discuss the WHY. Why keep learning? There are some good reasons to learn and some bad or insufficient reasons to learn, and it takes wisdom to know the difference. Listen up for an exploration of the heart of self-education.

Today we continue with our Learning How to Live series. Up until this point, we’ve mostly talked about things that can be done privately – reading books and magazines and such. This time, we take a look at communal activities like meetings and conferences. There’s some information here that you won’t want to miss!
