M.A. Franklin, Author and Father

Tucking your children in and cultivating a sense of wonder

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.


M.A. Franklin is an author writing at the intersections of faith, history, education, literature, and children's fiction. He is, of course, also a father. We sat down to talk about the importance of tucking your children in and cultivating a sense of wonder in the beauty of the world.

He can be found on X, formerly known as twitter.


Episodes of Hearth Fathers are free and release on Saturday mornings.

Paid subscribers to this SubStack are granted access a week early!
