Happy #InternationalPodcastDay

Powerful example of community! These guys have a brilliant habit of talking about the things others don’t. So many issues that come with the role of being a father that don’t get air time anywhere else. Like to think of myself as a self anointed Dope Black Dad

Marvyn Harrison ,

Thank you all for listening

We are always striving to be better but thank you for all of the kind words.
