While Joshua was singing “Willoughby Wallaby Woo” with a crowd in Philadelphia, Krishna was following the migrant caravan through Mexico and trying to balance his travel schedule with family-time back home in New York. He speaks about what he saw in Latin America and how he returns from those trips with his head screwed on straight, ready to take care of his kid. The life of a correspondent can get, after a while, split into two; Krishna speaks to the difficulty and importance of spanning that gap. Finally, Joshua goes looking for some advice on fatherhood and manhood more generally from an unlikely source. Bjorn Ahlander is the captain of the Draken Harald Hårfagre, the world’s largest operational Viking ship. Bjorn, who has just crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Sweden, speaks to Joshua about raising his two sons in the Scandinavian fashion and how he manages the difficult task of steering both his ship and his crew. Ahlander may be a wind-worn Swede, but he’s smart about people and Joshua learns some lessons on deck before returning to land. The Fatherly Podcast is back and better (read: weirder) than ever. Come for the company and stay for feels. Come for the feels and stay for the jokes. Come for “Wheels on the Bus” and stay for the toughest man in the North Atlantic.
