Marlin Detweiler and the good folks over at Veritas Press have been jolly decent to me as a writer. They have carried my books in their catalog for years, and have graciously invited me to write for a couple of volumes in their outstanding Omnibus history / literature / theology series (I plan to do a post or two devoted to the Omnibus series in the near future). Last year, Marlin called and asked if I would participate in their series of author discussions for the Veritas Press Scholar's Academy. Now, I also plan to devote a post or two to the Scholar's Academy some time, but in brief, this is an online classroom environment where homeschool families can get instruction in everything from Latin to Logic to Rhetoric to Omnibus to even things like Worldview and Film. So for those of you who are looking for a solution as to how you can give your kids an education in those subjects you feel are beyond you (and we all have some of those), while keeping them at home, I highly recommend the Veritas Press Scholar's Academy as an excellent option.
Anyway, several times a year, they bring in an author for a discussion with the students. My turn at bat came in early December. It was really a fun hour: after some introductory matter, the students, who were listening live in the "classroom," began to type their questions in a chat box. Then Bruce Etter, host for the evening (and administrator of the Scholar's Academy), asked the question, and all kinds of good discussion would ensue. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the kids asked some really interesting questions that I don't normally get in the interviews (few though they be) that I have done.
So for an introduction to the Veritas Press Scholar's Academy, and for a really interesting discussion on books, stories, Tolkien and Lewis, and lots more, take a listen. This is Part I, and I will post Part II separately.
St Anne's Pub
So back in 2005, when Crown of Fire and Talking of Dragons first came out, I wasn't exactly burning up the interview circuit. I did a few things: a local TV show, our local newspaper, and such like. One of my favourites was with St Anne's Pub, a very entertaining theology and culture audio journal out of Washington State. They do interviews, stories, reviews, and lots more, on subjects ranging from the economy to chocolate to fatherhood to death. In this interview, we talked about myths and fairy tales, dragons and books, Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, and about how to build storytelling cultures in our homes. We even talked about Santa Claus. Here are the links to all three parts of the interview:

Hopefully, we'll have much more of this as time passes. But as a starter, here's my kids in their first episode of The Newsom Kids Radio Show.
This was a homeschool project, in which we all learned a bit about scriptwriting, acting, audio production, sound design, music, etc. With the exception of a couple of the short music clips, we wrote and performed all the music. My daughter Grace even wrote the theme song, which she calls Festive Harmony. She and I played it together for this episode. The audio quality is not as great as I hope it shall one day be, but it's a start. Look for more once our podcast launches.
