Many life-long unschoolers wonder what high school is like; only a few take the plunge.

This week I interview a fascinating young guy who has experienced the worlds of unschooling, public high school, the Ivy League, New York City office life, and Alaskan salmon fishing.

Listeners: Thank for your feedback on my show; it’s been super helpful. Beginning today, I’m releasing episodes every other week, instead of weekly. That will help the podcast feel more sustainable for me.

Lucas Isakowitz, a 24-year-old grown unschooler, college graduate, and part-time Alaskan fisherman, talks with host Blake Boles about his young life as an unschooler, not learning to read until age 11, his decision to join a large public high school at age 14, the virtues of social adversity, going to college at Penn, and his recent experiences working on a salmon fishing boat in Alaska.
