WIRTW #774: the 'daughter' edition


Yesterday was National Daughters Day, not to be confused with National Transfer Money to Your Daughter's Account Day (Oct. 6), International Daughters' Day (Sept. 28), Father-Daughter Day (Oct. 12), or National Son and Daughter Day (also Sept. 28).

I happen to host a podcast with my daughter — The Norah and Dad Show. We just released our 55th episode, covering our recent visit during Parents Weekend at her university. We discuss: dining, shopping, soccer, and an absolutely awful homecoming football game, the difference between "speech pathology" and "speech therapy," the meaning of community service, and why I canceled our Hulu subscription.

Here's a quick clip to whet your appetite.


You'll find the full episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Overcast, on our website, or through your favorite podcast app. And if you enjoy it, please like, review, and subscribe—it really helps us grow!
