The Joys And Challenges Of Being A Stay At Home Dad
Description
From The Simpsons to the 1983 film Mr. Mom, pop culture is rife with examples of bumbling fathers. And while it’s fun to laugh at these fictional send-ups of charming incompetence, in real life, dads consider parenting just as central to their identities as moms. That's one of the reasons why a growing number of fathers are opting to be stay at home dads.
Guests:
Robbie Samuels - Father of two, author and host of the strategic networking podcast, On the Schmooze.
Dave Cutler - Father of four and blogger at The Dad Life.
Jared Jones - Father of four, blogger at Keeping up with Mr. Jones.
Later in the show…
Derek Walcott, the Nobel Prize winning poet, once said, “I read; I travel; I become.” No doubt Walcott would have appreciated an opportunity to combine reading and travel in a way that highlights books. It’s what inspired author Richard Kreitner to write his new book appropriately titled “Booked: A Traveler’s Guide to Literary Locations Around the World.”
Guest:
Richard Kreitner - Contributing writer for The Nation and author of Booked.
