Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com for such podcasters to get started.

to a team of people who helps me sort of sort through them, but we're going to start

doing something on a more regular basis here at the podcast, just to try to deal with the

amount of email that we are continuing to get. And we're going to call it Mailday Monday.

So we're going to start that today, and I'm going to be talking about an email I got

from a homeschool mom. And I don't always talk about homeschooling on the podcast, but

when I do, I like to talk about something I think is going to apply to everybody. And
