“Blake Boles has an incredible way of playing devil’s advocate in his interview process and I like that he interviews guests who don’t always share his personal perspective. He is a tremendous asset to the unschooling movement. I’ve learned a great deal from him and his guests and recommend his...”Read full review »

“I am a public library manager. This is my favorite podcast, and I listen to dozens on a regular basis. It kills me how many kids and teens I meant who feel their value is tied to grades and test scores and who feel they are failures if they don’t go to an elite university. These interviews are so...”Read full review »

“As a former educator who always knew I’d homeschool/unschool my own kids at some point, this podcast has been one of my go-to sources of information and support to help me finally pull them from school and give it a go. Blake is refreshing in his calm and balanced perspective - not having kids...”Read full review »

“Why would you platform Elizabeth Bartholet? Someone who is a threat to homeschoolers and wants to further restrict the rights of the parents seems like an unsuitable guest for a podcaster who supports unschooling and child led learning. Very disappointed”
