A lot of people think Growlers are worth listening to. Since we released the first Growler Tape in December of 1993, homeschoolers have been a large part of our audience. Although not originally conceived as a teaching tool, it is easy to understand why Growlers have found a home in this diverse community. Growler programs are non-traditional audio experiences. There is no narrator, and the drama does not include a storyteller.
Nothing is obvious - in fact, often the opposite is true.
Each episode presents a series of unusual observations, challenges and predicaments. Discovery, deduction, and interpretation are the keys to understanding what needs to be done to achieve a successful outcome. The kids eventually figure it out, but they've got to be observant and follow the logic. Exciting, intelligent mysteries are unraveled using hundreds of sounds, unique audio environments, music, real kids, and unusual voices - all magnifying the intensity of the experience. Growler programs are recommended by homeschooling support groups all across the USA as enrichment to customized curricula.
