Well, we couldn't outrun the virus that we've thus far kept at bay. Dad and I bid you farewell until later next year when we return for Season Two.  I'll be posting the long promised episodes we temporarily archived, and I'll be adding some "IN THE MEANTIME" fun until Dad and I return together in the future.

Today, Dad and I reflect on what it has meant to us to do this project together.  Dad is coming off of 15 days of illness—ending with pneumonia. He holds up pretty well in this week's episode, with the exception of a couple of times that leave me wondering if he still has a fever.

Dad and I, despite the fact that he is ill with a flu bug, begin to discuss how we feel about this experiment we are getting ready to sunset at the end of December—the first season anyway.

Today's episode begins to reveal something that hasn't yet fully taken form. I talk about it the best I can. Today is brief, and the news that comes with it swift. Sometimes, there is an unstoppable force requiring that we move out of the way—it's unstoppable for God's sake—and lean gently into the flow of its wake. Today is such a day.

Dad and I discuss how, for some families, Thanksgiving is fraught with anxiety and dread. We choose sides about wholeheartedly trusting historic sources vs. questioning them. And we discuss—in uncontrollable belly-laughter—Thanksgivings of old. Oh, and my dad uses the “f-word” in hilarious fashion. This conversation is like Thanksgiving itself; a corneacopia of different flavors that leave me satisfyingly full.

Dad and I discuss the power of action—and, guess what?! Besides a single (and very short) account of one of Dad's confessions to Fr. Miller, he doesn't bring religion up once. Alle—freakin—luia. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Dad and I disagree about what is at the root of all "evil."  I bet you can imagine what he believes is orchestrating all the bad in the world—but you may be surprised at what I assert to make my point about what I believe fuels it.

Dad and I discuss the ever polarized and politicized issue of immigration. We tackle, in our own way, how to balance being our "brother's keeper" with following the rules. It's tricky, but insights unfold and answers typically reveal themselves when we are willing to talk about the difficult issues.

Today, Dad and I discuss one of the most divisive topics since the early 1970's. Dad draws a clear line about where he stands, and I ask listeners to entertain a notion that I believe has the power to potentially dissolve the opposing views within this war-torn argument.

I generally think I've heard it all when it comes to Dad discussing anything about his faith or the history of the Catholic Church—but today he lays one on me that has me already plotting the course of the Goddess's Uprising.

Reminiscing is something we Arthurs do—often. My dad calls it "retalking."  Join us this week as we hash out the details of some of our favorite (and not so favorite) childhood memories.

Sometimes, life throws us challenges. The result of those challenges depends largely on whether we embrace or deflect them. Join Dad and I as we discuss one of the most influential lessons he and Mom taught us kids about embracing uncomfortable moments.

We all hold tightly to things in which we wholeheartedly believe. But what is the cost of hanging onto a belief with all of one's might? Join me and my dad as we navigate whether belief enhances or restricts our lives.

Differences not resulting in division can be most challenging when Dad and I attempt to navigate the subject of this week's show. Though difficult, I think this episode is an important one.

Join us for our debut episode where I introduce you to my dad; a man who's childhood could have gotten the best of him, but, instead, fortified his faith and his commitment to giving his own children something he never had.

This podcast is not about Covid-19 (thank God).  This podcast is also not about religion nor politics. This podcast is about a daughter and her dad demonstrating that different (and sometimes seemingly divisive) perspectives don't have to create division. Our conversations are at times heated, at other times poignant, yet most often our show is a hilarious and fun perspective on uncomfortable conversations.
