This week we are trying something different and doing a deep dive into what is going on for a home ed family right now, with a Day in the Life interview.* Kate from this here website was willing to play guinea pig, given that she had already done the standard interview in episode 7 (and 25) of the podcast. You can read all of Kate’s contributions to the blog here. (*That said, we’re still doing the standard interviews that are the backbone this podcast. But they are mostly about the why of home education, and it’s nice to get stuck into the how as well, so we’re going a do a mixture of the two, with some special episodes added into the mix for good measure.)
