Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network
Sweet 13
We’re turning thirteen, and the whole month is the party.
October 2026 · All 14 shows
“This really is something that can include everybody.”
Dr. Macy Bassler — physical therapist, homeschool mother and host of the Prayers for Parents podcast — on teaching Eden’s Table to her own children.
Thirteen years ago, one homeschool mom started a podcast
It became a network of fourteen shows, tens of thousands of downloads a year, and a community of homeschool families who show up week after week. That happened one episode at a time, mostly recorded between school hours, by people who were teaching their own children the same day.
October is our thirteenth birthday. So we’re spending the whole month celebrating — with a giveaway, with episodes you haven’t heard before, and with a few voices coming back to the microphone after a long time away.
The Sweet 13 Giveaway
Thirteen prizes. Four drawings, every Friday in October. Enter once and you’re in every drawing for the rest of the month — your entry carries forward, so there’s no reason to wait.
