About this episode

David interviews his son, sharing stories and reflections on their relationship and memories.

This episode I interview my son. He tells a couple of stories, sings a song, and calls me a "poop." This may be more a "vanity project" but I'm curious for my future self. I think that 15 years from now, re-listening to this episode will be super interesting. To hear his voice, and how he tells stories. I think in 30 years, when I'm gone, he might like to hear how we interacted. Maybe he will glean how I was as a father. I would love to hear how my dad spoke to me when I was young. My dad has dementia. It's getting harder and harder to remember what he was like. I have memories of him, but the former day-to-day experience of him is fading over time even though the physical body still sits there.
