I'm your host Brendon Sullivan. On this podcast series, I am going to be giving my thoughts, opinions, and connections to different books and articles that I read on the topics of fatherhood and parenting. In my discussion of the readings, I will try to pick out the key ideas of the author. I will also compare what the author says to my own experiences as a father.

    Episode 3

    For the third episode of "Tonight's Reading Assignment" Podcast, I have revamped the format. I begin with a short review and commentary on a reading about parenthood (Chapter 3 of Bringing up Boys). I share a short anecdote from parenting in my life. Then, I’ll make a recommendation for a kid’s book for you to read with or to the child in your life. Try out an AI generated dad joke. Then, wrap-up the episode.

    Episode 2-"The Boy's Manners"

    Episode 2-"The Boy's Manners"

    In the second episode of "Tonight's Reading Assignment" Podcast, I discuss Chapter 2 of the 1899 book, Bringing Up Boys: A Study. I briefly summarize the main ideas that stood out to me. And, I give my thoughts on how this compares to my own experience as a father. Chapter 2 was called "The Boy's Manners." And, the focus was on just that, manners. Lacking the focus of chapter 1, I struggled to connect with chapter 2.

    Episode 1- "Taking Kids Seriously"

    In the inaugural episode of "Tonight's Reading Assignment" Podcast, I discuss Chapter 1 of the 1899 book, Bringing Up Boys: A Study. I briefly summarize the main ideas that stood out to me. And, I give my thoughts on how this compares to my own experience as a father. The chapter, and my thoughts, really focus on the idea of treating your children's interests in a serious and respectful manner.
