Hello fellow Homeschoolers.
After much thought and planning, we at Homemade Homeschoolers are ready to launch a new (and possibly the most fun) feature: The HMHS Podcast Network! We need your participation, though. Our desire is to feature homemade podcasts from “do it yourself” Homemade Homeschoolers everywhere. Not sure of what a “podcast” is? Watch this video on YouTube called “Podcasting In Plain English” for a simple, easy to understand explanation:
Not only would this be a wonderful learning experience for our children (and parents too, in many cases), it will also be a great way to showcase the talents of your families and children! Some suggestions on podcast material and subjects are:
- Audio Theater
- Talk Radio
- Comedy Sketches
- News Programs
- Family Music Recitals
- Singing
- Book Reviews
- Movie Reviews
- Educational Material
We can also host video on the HMHS Podcast Network. Some ideas for video include:
- Plays
- Documentaries
- Music Videos
- Educational Tutorials
- Nature Studies
- Conference Trips
- Extracurricular Activities
These are just suggestions; the possibilities are truly endless! Let your children and family’s creativity shine through on the HMHS Podcast Network.
Each family that joins the HMHS Podcast Network will receive a direct link to their own program such as “hmhomeschoolers.com/yourpodastname” to make it easy for grandma to keep track of all your “episodes”. There will also be a subscription option for people to have new episodes sent directly to them whenever they are posted (much like subscribing to the Homemade Homeschoolers RSS Feed), for extra convenience.
Podcasting really is very simple. I should know; I am a “podcaster” and my shows have been downloaded over 75,000 times. If you are interested in joining the HMHS Podcast Network, or have any questions, please contact us through the website and I will assist you in any way that I can. And remember, friends: these podcast don’t have to be “professional” quality; and they can be as short as 5 minutes, or as long as half an hour to an hour – though I wouldn’t suggest going much longer than 30 minutes.
Please join the HMHS Podcast Network, and let’s have some fun while learning!
