Homeschooling – Milpitas Homeschool Support Group
I, Ann Zeise, your GoMilpitas webmaster, also had a very large and popular homeschooling website, A2Z Home’s Cool for over 2 decades. In 2017 I sold it to Time4Learning as the site had become too large for one person to run. I needed “staff.” In 2023 they removed to site from the internet, so I created this archive of the site from the Way Back Machine. Locally, though.

Still, these are all northern California radio stations. First radio station link usually goes straight to their streaming service; second to the station’s home page. Most stations can also play through your Echo (Alexa). Just say “Alexa, play ….” and say the call letters of the radio station. If there is no comment that the station will work with Alexa, then it doesn’t work when I set up this page. I have not tested with…
