About this episode

On this episode of the Our American Stories podcast, we bring you stories about outstanding fathers and fathers who don't make the grade. Leslie Leyland Fields tells us about the heart-breaking relationship between her and her father. And it's not what you'd expect; Taylor Brown shares the eulogy he wrote in Garden and Gun for his biker dad; and Peter Mutabazi, a man who ran away from his abusive father in Africa, got adopted by another family, and would go on to foster and adopt children of his own.
