What Is the OCEANetwork Homeschool Podcast About and Where Can I Listen?
Updated
The OCEANetwork podcast is a Christian homeschool encouragement show hosted by Aaron and Tauna Meyer. Episodes focus on practical and spiritual support for homeschooling parents, and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. It is produced by the Oregon Christian Home Education Association Network (OCEANetwork), which has served Oregon homeschool families since 1986.
What the Podcast Covers
The show mixes interviews and host-led discussion aimed at parents at different stages of homeschooling. Based on the episodes listed on the site, recurring themes include:
- Faith and family life — trusting God through the homeschool years, as in the two-part interview with Zan Tyler.
- Homeschool journeys and advocacy — Zan Tyler's story "From Reluctant Homeschooler to Lifelong Advocate."
- Homeschooling through high school — a two-part conversation with Sheri English on life skills, character development, and resisting outside pressures that distract families from what matters most.
Episodes are framed as encouragement for "homeschool parents in every" stage, so the content leans toward perspective and experience rather than a strict curriculum guide.

Who It's For
The podcast fits Christian families in Oregon and beyond who want encouragement and shared experience alongside practical homeschooling advice. If you are just starting out, the network's broader site also offers a free Oregon homeschool planner and a "Ready to start your homeschool journey?" entry point. If you want high-school-specific guidance, start with the Sheri English episodes; if you want big-picture encouragement, the Zan Tyler interviews are the better entry.
