The Heidi St. John Podcast
A podcast for conservative Christian mothers, mixing cultural commentary and political advocacy with homeschooling and parenting advice.
A mix of solo Q&A episodes and long-form interviews where host Heidi St. John applies a conservative Christian lens to current events, politics, and culture. The show strongly advocates for homeschooling, traditional family values, and political engagement. Episodes often feature direct calls to action, such as removing children from public schools or boycotting specific companies.
“The podcast's blend of practical parenting and homeschooling advice with hard-line political commentary and activism is its defining feature. Unlike many parenting shows, it explicitly names political figures and advocates for specific actions like running for office or divesting from companies with opposing values.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The show is not a purely interview-based format, with many solo episodes. When interviews occur, St. John often frames the conversation with her own strong opinions before bringing in the guest. She establishes a personal, friendly rapport, sometimes noting shared personal histories. Her questions are typically broad and open-ended, designed to let the guest speak at length on their area of expertise without significant interruption or pushback. A notable move is asking guests to name specific people or resources listeners should avoid.
The show alternates between two main formats: 'Fan Mail Friday' episodes, where the host answers listener-submitted questions, and interview episodes. In interviews, St. John often begins with a lengthy solo monologue to frame the topic from her perspective before introducing the guest. Her closing refrain is often, "stick around, I think you're going to be encouraged."
