Tonight on the Front Porch, we celebrate Fathers' Day through the personal stories of radio producers and their dads. These stories come to us from the Public Radio Exchange. The links below will take you directly to them at the PRX site, where you can listen to the stories and write reviews. (Tonight's audio is not available here on the NHPR website.)

Dad and Daws -- Joe Bevilacqua uses audio he recorded as a child to recount how his volatile father's gift of a tape recorder led him to another father figure and an eventual career in radio.

Doc Merrick -- Viki Merrick tells the tale of her first period – and how her father took a potentially embarrassing moment and turned it around.

Fighting With My Dad -- Richard Paul interviews a man who can't work with others: his father.

Father's Day -- Jake Warga was clearing out stuff of his parent's house 10 years after their death, and he found a box of cassettes of his father interviewing him when he was a kid.
