Lunch with Dad
Have lunch with a father-son combo who both happen to be award-winning broadcasters! Hi everyone - My name is Matt. I’m 46 and at the stage of life where I try to create and preserve as many memories as possible, and what better resource than my dad Doug? A couple of times each month, Dad and I get together for lunch. After we eat, we sit down for about 15-20 minutes and just let Dad recall great stories from his life. Our topics will be all over the place - some are more personal, some are related to West Michigan, some are funny, some are sweet. Every episode might not be for every person, but I bet if you give us a listen, you’re gonna like something you hear. What to sponsor or host Lunch with Dad? Feel free to reach out to me - lunchwithdadpodcast@gmail.com
