Homesteads and Homeschools
We've talked about unschooling on the podcast before, but today we really dug deep with guest Pam Laricchia, author of a handful of unschooling books, public speaker and host of the Exploring Unschooling podcast. Pam has been on the unschooling journey for almost two decades and has gleaned a plethora of information and experience she is happy to share. Check it out and find out what unschooling is really all about.

Episode 103 bring another long sought after guest, Papa Pepper! Papa Pepper is living the life many homesteaders strive for, growing his family, growing his crops, building his animal flocks, and being an all around all-star. Oh, and he's an author. Give it a listen, you'll learn something and you'll love him as much as I do. Promise.

Welcome to 2021! And welcome to our first guest of the year, Geoff Wacker. Geoff is a chicken guy. He grows a lot of chickens, but doesn't put them all in his own freezer. I talked to Geoff about what he does with all his "extra" chickens, why he does it, and hopefully it can encourage everyone to get out there and share a bit with their own community.

Closing out the fine year of 2020, the Liberty Hippie brings on not one, not two, but three guests! None of them are new to the show, but the boys say down and talked about what they've learned in the year past and how they're hoping to grow their systems and community as the calendar flips. And of course, some necessary homestead pest control.

Finally, after only 100 episodes, I was able to nail down podcast host and homesteader, Ben Pangie. Ben grows some veggies, murders some birds, and is hoping to milk some goats. Check it out as we dig into how Ben got to the Good View Quarter and why he keeps on keeping on.

We're joined today by Michael Perazzetti, another teacher who came on to discuss some of the failings he sees in the public school system. We postulate as to what might cause some of those issues and talk about what parents can do to rectify the situation if public school is the only choice for them.

Joining the show today is Nicole Sauce of Living Free in Tennesee, as well as a co-host of Unloose the Goose. We discussed Nicole's journey to homesteading, and how she has been able to work with and develop a local community that works together voluntarily to lend a hand when the time comes.

We all grow plants - even if it's just a carefully manicured lawn. Today we talk to Jim White, the creator of Fishnure, and get into fertilizer, why it's important for plants to have feed and what benefits Fishnure has over commercial, purely chemical fertilizer.

In the past, almost two years, I have neglected to have a single homeschool student on the show. Today, that changes! My guest is Lucy, the fourteen year old host of the Homeschool Biscuit podcast! Lucy spent her first year of kindergarten in a charter school, but quickly moved to a homeschooling system and is currently participating in Classical Conversations. Check it out and get some perspective straight from a homeschooler!
info_outlineEpisode 24 finds the Liberty Hippie taking to the president of the Libertas Institution, and author of "Lessons from a Lemonade Stand," "Passion-Driven Education," and, of course, The Tuttle Twins series. We talked about how he ended up deciding that homeschooling was the correct decision for his children, and how he came to write the Tuttle Twins, and the importance of teaching children about liberty and sound economics. Pay attention for a future announcement when Connor's new game to supplement the Tuttle Twin's series comes out.

As this was a shorter episode, the Liberty Hippie would be remiss to not talk about some environmental issues, and he does so examining the International Joint Commission's handling of flooding along the St. Lawrence river and Great Lakes area.
