  • Shout out to Carlie and Reid who love listening to the podcast in Missouri. I have one problem though. I really don't think that a lot of this stuff on here is appropriate for "kids" things like war and fighting not that appropriate for literal CLASSROOMS to be listening to. 3 stars

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

07.11.2026
Q: And could you explain to kids or maybe some adults listening the difference between phonics and whole language?
Dr. Ginsburg explains that phonics focuses on decoding sounds and their relationships with written symbols, while whole language emphasizes recognizing whole words and meaning; she notes the science increasingly supports decoding and phonemic awareness as foundational, with explicit instruction helping many learners.
06.20.2026
Q: Johanna, for the parents who are traveling, do they work remotely or are they retired? How does that work?
Many work remotely or run their own businesses, some take a gap year, and others have one parent traveling with the kids while the other handles home life.
06.20.2026
Q: Where are you going to go?
We'll start in Valencia and then decide the rest later on.
06.20.2026
Q: Are you going to continue next year or are you going back home to Charlotte?
For the summer we're going back home, and next year we plan to do Together Explorers again.
06.20.2026
Q: What is it like having your brother with school with you?
Sometimes it's really fun and I learn a lot about him, but it can also be tiring and we sometimes need a break from each other.
