AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama
Summary: For many years now, Afterthoughts has been a sort of intellectual watering hole for classical, Charlotte Mason homeschooling mamas. 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. 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. *** Show notes: https://afterthoughtsblog.net/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandyvencel
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. *** Show notes: https://afterthoughtsblog.net/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandyvencel

If you found the idea of a Mothers’ Education Course, which we talked about in Episodes 27 and 28, overwhelming, this is the solution for you.

Welcome to Season 4 of AfterCast! I'm so glad you're here! Today, we're kicking off a new series of episodes. This whole season is going to have one focus: continuing our education as homeschool teachers. To think about that, we're going to discuss all the ways Charlotte Mason and her comrades continued their educations. But first, we need to start at the beginning: what does it mean to have the heart of Charlotte Mason teacher? How does a Charlotte Mason teacher flourish? Listen to find out!
For this final episode of the season, we’re tackling some tough questions: why are names like classical education and great conversation so difficult to define? Is Charlotte Mason for everyone? And what does it mean to duplicate a tradition in a living way? *** Posts and show notes: afterthoughtsblog.net/podcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AfterthoughtsBlog Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandyvencel/ Thanks for being an Afterthinker!
In a Charlotte Mason education, there is no specialization. All students are to study all subjects. The question is WHY? Today, we’re going to take a look at some possible reasons using Socrates, Aristotle, MBTI, and some lesson Miss Mason teaches us in her book Formation of Character. *** Posts and show notes: afterthoughtsblog.net/podcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AfterthoughtsBlog Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandyvencel/ Thanks for being an Afterthinker!
