Episode Notes

Brandy Jensen is one of my favorite writers on the Internet. I've followed her work for years, everything from advice columns to interviews with the character actor Walton Goggins, and it's only gotten better with time. She joins me to discuss the genre of Dad Books, their highs and lows, and what we should all be reading.
