Roam Schooled
Jim BrunbergRoam Schooled is a show where I conduct in-depth, in-person investigations into topics chosen by a child (one of my 6-year-old twin daughters). We go out in our 1991 Winnebago and talk to people, in person. One question typically leads us to another question and away we go... It's a show about the pleasure of finding things out.

The email came in yesterday: "On Friday evening, administrators were informed of threats made against the school on social media by a high school student. Police were immediately notified, and the stude... more
We remember the lies we tell. Sometimes they stick with us for a lifetime. For guest Cheryl Strayed, lies were among the baggage that blocked her happiness until a long backpacking trip afforded her the strength to bring them in to roost somewhere he... more

In our Roams, we've met some people with widely varying concepts of home. Some, like Musonda, have taken an incredible journey to get there. The twists and turns in his story are, well, amazing.

I am a huge fan of this podcast. I learned something new every episode! The two little girls in this show impress me and I want more! Great show! Great listen! Great concept and please make more! Good job family
Apple Podcasts5MiketrialsUnited States6 years ago - It will make you more thoughtfuller!
Arts and crafts for your brain. Recommended activity while listening: find a glue gun and some Q-tips and make something. I'm very picky when it comes to choosing what podcast I decide to get into and I fell in love with this podcast right away. I'm positive that the 6yr old on this podcast is smarter and more thoughtfuller than most of my friends. Hats off to the Dad! #thoughtfuller

South Africa8 years ago - The kinds of conversaations we should all have
In a world where exchanges between people are prosaic or superficial, these episodes remind us of how even a simple topic can lead to fascinating places with time, quiet and an open (child-like) heart.
Apple Podcasts5Meara PUnited States8 years ago - Excellent show!!!
Love this show!
Apple Podcasts5NeighburrrrUnited States8 years ago - Roam Schooled Rules
Love the Brunberg adventures and quests.
Apple Podcasts5oregon oakUnited States8 years ago - Refreshing
Roam Schooled is such a great idea. Starting with questions that Jim's young daughters have and actually talking to people and going places to check things out. These girls have great experiences with their Dad. It is not necessarily geared down to young kids either so all ages would enjoy the interesting subjects and hearing many sides of the different topics. Thanks Jim for the great podcasts.
Apple Podcasts5Karen CraftsUnited States8 years ago - Way to go!!
Love how learning takes a new spin and an awesome foundation for adventure for life!
Apple Podcasts5LeeannaMUnited States8 years ago - Little people, big questions!
Vern and Dana ask the big questions, and we get to go along for the ride. Thanks Jim and family for sharing your enlightening explorations.
Apple Podcasts5Bill WadhamsUnited States8 years ago - Community focus
Let’s get to know our neighbors and find out cool stuff! What a great, kid-centered show!
Apple Podcasts5Lnzee SUnited States8 years ago - Absolutely phenomenal !!
I accidentally stumbled on Roam School looking for podcasts originating in my native Northwest - however, this podcast is absolutely phenomenal independent of where it is made.
Please, please, please keep up the great investigative storytelling!!
Apple Podcasts5Rooster HahnUnited States8 years ago - Beautiful
We often satisfy our curiosity with a quick Google search. Which is fine. But this podcast, based on the premise “Let’s go find out!” leads to some fascinating conversations with people who have so much knowledge and experience to share, and topics are explored in depth, from many angles, with this sense of real interpersonal connection you certainly don’t get from Wikipedia. I hope more people take the time to check this out! It’s so good.

As a poet I spend an inordinate amount of time procrastinating. I also spend an inordinate amount of time listening to podcasts while procrastinating, Driving, walking or doing chores. This Podcast, which I was introduced to by the incredible LiveWire podcast, is so very moving, heartwarming, enlightening and just does a great job restoring my faith in the future. The way Jim talks to his daughters is so real and refreshing making the show a bit about how to be a cool parent as well as explori... more
Apple Podcasts5PérhimselfUnited States8 years ago - Such a valuable podcast
This podcast is never a waste of my time. Topics are totally relevant to contemporary life but not newsy or burdened by current political strife. Delightful and engaging. A breath of fresh air without being inane or tacky. This guy is an awesome dad and we should all enjoy and emulate his beautiful curiosity.
