Podcasts
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation featured me in their weekly podcast just a few weeks after the “Revolutionary City” Choice Comix was published. Harmony Hunter did a great job interviewing me and editing my rambling answers into a sharp and short discussion of how I approached the delicate task of turning a 5-hour street theater script into a comic. (The podcast is copyright The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and is also available free from iTunes.)

Chester Comes to School
This video from my visit to Taylor Elementary School in Norfolk County, Virginia is a great review of what is covered in my school visits. Of course, I tailor my presentation to the needs (and state standards) of your grade level. Enjoy the video, and contact me about a visit to your school!

Homeschool All-Stars
This video tells the story about how I came up with “Homeschool All-Stars,” a new hard-cover comic book about famous Americans who were home-schooled. You can order the book here.
