Best and Worst Advice from Dads

The World

With Father’s Day approaching, we asked Takeaway listeners a few dad-related questions: what’s the best or worst bit of fatherly advice you’ve ever received? Who are some of your favorite fathers in fiction books? We combed through a week’s worth of listener responses to share what our listeners had to say. Joining us is Takeaway listener Diane Findlen Garrow, to talk about how she remembers her dad and the best lesson he passed on to her.
