On this episode we interview Annie Crawford. Annie is a cultural apologist, classical educator, and homeschool mom. She teaches online courses for The Symbolic World, as well as apologetics and humanities courses for high schoolers at Vine Classical Community of Austen. In this episode we talk about how symbolism and a sacramental view of the world takes us deeper into Reality, and in honor of the Christmas season we talk about how feasting imprints truth, goodness, and beauty onto our souls!

On this episode we interview Autumn Kern, host of The Common House network for classical Charlotte Mason homeschoolers and The Commonplace podcast. We talk about the growing popularity of personal curriculums and the way modernity has left most of us with an intuitive sense that something was lacking in our own education. Autumn gives wonderful practical tips on how you can pursue varying degrees of personal study through what she calls Mother Acadamia (though fathers can do it too)!
