Dad

from The Narratologist · host John Watson

This is a story of my dad. Not THE story of my dad, as that would take decades to tell. When I wrote the companion episode about my mom, I realised that this is a story that you can't get right. Which makes it easier, and infinitely more difficult, all at once. If you knew my dad, I hope this rings true, and teaches you some new things. If not, meet him now.
