EP 00: Welcome to AfterCast!
AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama
12/31/16 • 8 min
For many years now, Afterthoughts has been a sort of intellectual watering hole for all of you classical, Charlotte Mason homeschooling mamas out there – I like to call you Afterthinkers. You are thinking people – idea people – who never let a good book go to waste. You keep yourselves intellectually agile by reading books, often old books, seeking out the best that has been thought and said, and mixing it into your everyday lives of laundry and dishes and dinner and long division.
At Afterthoughts, we have spent over a decade nourishing our minds on theology, educational philosophy, and a million other books and subjects thrown in – all the while bringing these ideas into a direct collision course with our daily lives. Because what good is an idea if we don’t use it – live it, breathe it? As an audio companion, this podcast is a chance to hear Afterthoughts blog posts rather than read them. Couple that with some bonus content focused on books and interviews, and you’ve got AfterCast.
In this first brief episode, Brandy explains what AfterCast is all about and what the different types of episodes are all about.

EP 29: The Mother's Compass
AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama
01/24/19 • 61 min
Today, I’m interrupting our Charlotte Mason series to bring you this season’s special conversation. Brittney McGann is back with me today; I hope you recognize her from last season. Brittney has been studying Charlotte Mason for over seven years. Mason’s philosophy embodies all the things Brittney loved about her own upbringing and everything she would have wished for in her education, had she known it was possible. Brittney hosted the Grace to Build Retreat in Black Mountain, North Carolina for three years and has presented workshops at multiple Charlotte Mason conferences. These days she is teaching her three children, leading two Charlotte Mason groups and working with her husband to restore native plants to their 3.5 acres.
Today, Brittney and I discuss the "Mother’s Compass". We talk about working within limitations -- for both ourselves and our children. It’s a great discussion you won’t want to miss!

02/28/19 • 16 min
Today is NOT just a review. Yes, we walk through everything we’ve learned over this huge series and remind ourselves of the amazingly numerous possibilities. But the point isn’t the review – the point is to think of these as categories and then discover what similar options exist for us today. I think you’ll find some real gems to help keep you learning in the midst of your busy days.

EP 35: How She Learns: My Personal Continuing Education Journey
AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama
03/07/19 • 17 min
Today is the FINAL installment of this Learning How to Live Series -- which makes this the END of Season 4! What I tried to do, and hope I accomplished, was take the categories we’ve been discussing these past few weeks and show how they play out in my own life – not because the way I do it is the one right way, but simply because it’s always useful to have an example of how this might work. I hope you find it helpful as we look at different ways to learn in the midst of busy days!
Thank you for joining me this season. Please make sure you're subscribed so that you're notified when AfterCast come back after the break.
