RADIO HOST
In 2008, Leigh began hosting Leigh! at Lunch, a weekly online radio show sponsored by BlogTalkRadio. The show is designed to forge connections between homeschool parents and leaders in the community. Leigh engages her guests in candid conversation about the purpose and goals of education as well as practical techniques of homeschooling.
Leigh has hosted over fifty shows attracting thousands of listeners. Her previous guests have included politicians, educators, homeschool advocates, and leaders in the Christian community. A few of her most popular interviewees have been former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, Andrew Pudewa of the Institute for Excellence in Writing, Adam Andrews of the Center for Literary Education, and The CiRCE Institute’s Andrew Kern.
The Leigh! at Lunch season runs from October to May. Listeners can join the conversation live online or by phone on Wednesdays at noon EST.
