mariposa Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I recently started a (very) part time job and I've just discovered podcasts to make my commute more enjoyable - sometimes 2hrs/day. I'd love some recommendations for good ones! I'm specifically looking for: 1. Sermons (I'm a reformed Christian - already put Keller & Piper on my list) 2. Homeschooling/education strategies 3. ENCOURAGEMENT! between hs & working, I need all the help I can get! Anything about marriage, motherhood, home organization, etc. 4. Stories or news (preferably unbiased - is that possible?) Anything else that you've found that you love! Thanks so much! Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I love podcasts, too. For sermons, I like Northwoods Church sermons based in Peoria, IL. They have tons on a variety of topics. Have you looked into the foreign language podcasts? We've used different Spanish and Latin ones. (I can't remember which ones now. Sorry.) What about SWBs audio lectures? I have several and get so much out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 If you remember, I'd love to know if there's a good language podcast - I didn't think of that, but that would be great to brush up on my Spanish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandymom Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 While these are not sermons, they do contain Christian content. I actually found this podcast when I was doing a search for homeschooling podcasts because they talk about classical education (not specifically homeschooling) in several of the episodes. I've really enjoyed these podcasts. http://www.worldview.org/podcast/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 These are great - adding to my iPod right now! It's nice to look forward to the commute rather than dread it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoforjoy Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, because I'm a good liberal Episcopalian and should NOT enjoy these podcasts, but I really like Revive Our Hearts and Family Life Today. Once in a while there's a topic that raises my hackles and I just skip it, and I don't agree with everything they say by a long shot, but I find both very useful, pleasant, and encouraging overall.

aggieamy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Car Talk with Click and Clack - very funny. It's two brothers who talk about car repairs. I know that sounds so lame but it's awesome. I also like Dave Ramsey. These aren't technically podcasts but their radio shows that you can download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I do listen to Family Life Today on the radio sometimes, and I also feel a little embarrassed to admit that. I didn't realize they had podcasts - have to check it out. Sometimes it's just a bit much for me, but I often find it encouraging, too. I used to hate that kind of thing, but I think as I've matured I'm able to get the good stuff out of it and tune out the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Downinfront.net is a group of film geeks that make their own movie commentary tracks. Very interesting if the idea of a two hour podcast appeals to you. Its like watching a movie with four of your geekiest friends. They are all in the film industry, and provide a unique insight. The language can get pretty offensive at times though, so I wouldn't recommend it to most people who may consider themselves conservative.
