As a practitioner of and parent in classical education—the great conversation—I find the conversation richer and deeper with the Forma crew in the “room.” Thanks for always-great content.

All of Circe’s offerings share a quality approach to the subject at hand. Never taking itself too seriously, personable hosts draw listeners in to feel like part of a community of classically minded and spirited educators.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve learned through the Circe Institute’s Podcasts. It’s deeply influenced the way I homeschool my kids. I’m learning so much through this podcast. I love how everything classical is taught through the Christian perspective, and I’m constantly amazed how...Read full review »

What is a classically homeschooling mom supposed to do to grow herself? Read, think deeply, read, talk to others. CiRCE helps me do this. I listen to podcasts while grocery shopping and working in the kitchen; my favorite is Close Reads. These folks keep me reading and growning as a person.

I really enjoy having something so uplifting and mind expanding to listen to. I am a busy homeschool mom and these podcasts help feed my brain.

The content on this podcast is fantastic. On the Close Reads episodes in particular, I could do with a lot less of the hosts' chasing rabbits and giggling. It gets distracting and grating, especially the pitch and volume. The Flannery series was especially enjoyable.Read full review »

If I was a plant, the Circe Institute would be Miracle Grow. My family and I have been so enriched by the books we are reading, the Latin we're memorizing, the Homer we're singing... all things planted and watered by the people behind these podcasts and resources. Thank you Circe folks!...Read full review »

I look forward to every podcast. The Close Reads and Mason Jar and Perpetual Feast podcasts are particular favorites.
fromtheE's via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/17
These podcast cause you to think deeply about all things related to education and the soul. Many of them are worth listening to over and over again. Anything with Andrew Kern or Wes Callahan is usually very thought-provoking. I find myself pausing it to write down what they said and my...Read full review »

I am a homeschooling mom of six, and I have enjoyed every CiRCE episode I've tuned into so far! I am a long-time listener of The Mason Jar, from which I glean so much wisdom.

It took me some time to warm up to some of the voices on the network, they seemed intellectually pretentious, but I think that was an overly critical judgment on my part. I've come to really enjoy each show and today found myself giggling giddily when I saw the newest episode in my feed. I...Read full review »

Love the ideas and approaches explored by Circe--done fabulously! Ask Andrews are my fav! Love how thoughtful and thorough the explanation of the content is.
Elzbthchrstne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/17
If you like to read, you'll like Circe. If you love to read, you'll LOVE Circe. My very favorite it Close Reads--you read the same book or short story as the host and then listen to the three lit teachers talk about it.

I listen to all the podcasts on the Circe Network. Circe Institute has been life changing for me in my understanding of classical education.
Loving2bmom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/17
I enjoy ALL CiRCE podcasts, but CloseReads is hands down my favorite. I consider David, Angelina, and Tim kindred spirits. (Not to mention the whole FB page community... I have found my people). I started listening last summer when I was reading my children "The Wind in the Willows." I...Read full review »

This podcast has been a huge blessing. I have laughed and furiously jotted down book titles while listening to the Close Reads podcast.

Thank you for a tremendous show about a Charlotte Mason education featuring Cindy Rollins. It has been so enjoyable and informative. I'm still catching up on old episodes, but have appreciated every one.

I came to your podcasts through the Mason Jar, but I found a plethora of wonderful minds and ideas.

I love listening to your podcasts. I always come away with exciting things to bring to the classroom. I wish there was a way to sort and be able to listen to all of the episodes of one show in a row!

Cindy Rollins is the friend/mentor we all wish lived next door. She not only had a lot of wisdom both from her own experience and her extensive study of Charlotte Mason but she shares her wisdom in a humble and gracious way that encourages and inspires

I went to a Liberal Arts college (in the classical sense of L.A.)and there I was told that I couldn't possibly learn everything in 4 years, but that I would have to study and continue learning for 40 years to be truely educated. As a mom of 4 young kids, I thought that those days of educating...Read full review »
