- If ya like the koolaid…
To be fair, my only exposure is the episode on AI but I can say to clearly takes a singular cynical biased perspective. If doesn’t weigh in the actual environmental, political, social, and economical issues that AI faces in the near future. Instead it takes a fear mongering approach, feeding on scary phrases without actually understanding and explaining the technical realities of the adoption of AI which it highlights. Over all, would advice doing further personal education on the realities of A... more

Wow this podcast is what I needed! I run a Home Ed group each week and have felt the need to share this not only to parents in our group but many Home Ed social media groups! For me as a Home Educator it has helped me lose the daily doubts and know that I am doing a great job in educating a child to be able to grow into adulthood a happy, confident imaginative human who knows they can achieve and accomplish the goals they set themselves in life. Thank you and so pleased I found your podcast.

I love this podcast! It has a much broader application to living in general than just “unschooling”. His level-headed, person-affirming, research based approach to parenting and life in general has helped me well beyond school matters. I have been able to apply these principles to other relationships and situations. It’s not an exaggeration to say what Izzy shares has helped me be a better mom and person all around.

United Statesa month ago - Way to go Florence!
I loved listening to your episode about Florence trying school. I was so proud of her for standing up to those boys, but as a parent, completely felt your pain! What a strong brave girl. I love that she stuck it out, made friends and chatted with everyone at school, including older staff members. It reminded me of my daughter and how she would react if she went to school. Thank you for sharing and I’m glad she’s back at home with her family!!
