PodCast - Dr Bruce Linton

A DIYFather Podcast featuring show hosts Scott Lancaster and co-hosts Eric Mooij and Stefan Korn.

Today's guest is Dr. Bruce Linton, Founder of the Fathers Forum. From the pregnancy on I realized that there were very few services both educationally or socially for me to meet with other men and hear about their experiences as fathers.
