Dads on Books is a podcast series hosted by Mike Walker and David Patrick. We, the two dads, discuss books, focusing on ones we read to our daughters, some from our own childhood reading, or books they were reading that we decided to read. The podcast showcases our connections to the books, our perspectives on the books as parents, and other random discussions sparked by conversation.
