Hearth Fathers is a podcast where rural fathers are asked to reflect on their relationship with their home, land, and legacy.
In a fast world, Hearth Fathers is a slow and deliberate podcast; our conversations are not rushed but instead seek to glean wisdom about life from fathers who live in the country. Before you listen, consider pouring a drink, getting comfortable, and slowing down yourself.
Keep the fire burning.
Donald Ward is a salmon slinging fisherman, retired rural reporter, gear jamming truck driver, duck wrangler, and father in the fertile valleys of the Palouse in Washington State and the shores of Bristol Bay Alaska. We sat down to talk about generational fishing, what he hopes for his daughter, and what he hopes for all children.
He can be found on twitter and the catch from his family’s boat can be found at twoifbyseafoods.net.
Episodes of Hearth Fathers are free and release on Saturday mornings.
Paid subscribers to this SubStack are granted access a week early!
