Pull up a chair and join us for eclectic conversations with friends and family. You can expect episodes where we geek out on classic literature, history, theology, culture, and the occasional movie or album review. As a homeschool family, we’ve been on this learning journey for almost 20 years! But remember, homeschooler or not, the most awesome part about life is you never have to stop learning.
Who was Homer? Did the city of Troy really exist? And if it did, why did the Greeks attack it?
Join us on the Oh-My-Geekers podcast while we uncover Zeus’s devious plans for population control, Achilles’ legendary temper tantrum, and Paris’ misguided quest to become a stud as we dive into the first part of Homer’s Iliad.

Season 6 Episode 1 - Down To Egypt
Welcome to the sixth season of Oh-My-Geekers! We're continuing our journey through the book of Genesis by diving into the latter verses of chapter 12, where Abram moves to Egypt. In this episode, we explore how Abram's belief in his "perfect" plan reveals his distrust in God’s promises and the consequences of his actions. We also draw fascinating parallels between Abram’s story, the experiences of the Israelites, and the early days of Jesus.
