About this listen

This is the longest episode in the series because we talked to so many people. It is a general survey of the state of modern fatherhood. We speak to a family that has three members: a lesbian couple and the gay father. We speak to somebody who lived among the Aka tribe in the Congo who are the world’s greatest fathers, who even occasionally breastfeed their children. We travel to Japan and attend classes in fatherhood for men who have no experience of living with their own children. It is a profoundly moving journey which shows that fatherhood, while being redefined constantly, remains vital.

The person reading is horrible. And that sucks bc I’m really interested in this subject. He speaks super fast then slow and his voice goes soft at the end of sentences and the words just jumble together and mumble. I found myself turning it up only for him to be shouting the next sentence or slowing it down but he still sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles.
