The Father & Son Field Guide
The Father and Son Field Guide is a weekly podcast hosted by 8-year-old Walker and his dad, Ryan. Together, they explore big questions, small lessons, and everything in between—from “Why do people quit when things get hard?” to “What does it mean to be brave?”
Each 40–45 minute episode is packed with real conversations, laughter, kid-approved jokes, surprising fun facts, and thoughtful reflections on growing up, learning together, and being human. It’s a podcast for curious kids, caring parents, and anyone who loves honest questions and meaningful moments shared around the metaphorical campfire.
Whether you’re on a car ride, winding down for bed, or just looking for something uplifting and real, grab your field guide and come along. There’s always something new to discover.

In this episode of The Father and Son Field Guide, we open up our bird journal and share the different species we’ve spotted right in our own backyard. From bright goldfinches to the colorful Baltimore oriole, we talk about what makes each bird special, why keeping a journal is fun, and how birdwatching brings us closer together as a family. Join us for curious questions, silly jokes, fun facts, and plenty of bird chatter as we keep our eyes on the skies!
