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.

This Thanksgiving, we’re slowing things down on The Father and Son Field Guide to focus on what truly matters... gratitude. Together, we explore the real history of Thanksgiving, honor the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people, discover fun facts about deer hunting in Iowa, and reflect on what it means to be thankful for family, the land, and the memories we make together. And as always, we crack a couple jokes for some field guide giggles!
