In observance of Father’s Day, this episode is dedicated to fathers across our nation and beyond. A brief history of father’s day in the United States is given in addition to some thoughts recognizing incarcerated fathers and formerly incarcerated fathers. I’m joined by two of my father friends who shared their perspectives about fatherhood and being a father. I express appreciation for my own father to conclude this tribute. Enjoy the show!
