Dad From Scratch

Dad From Scratch is a podcast created by Steve Fink, a father of two toddlers in Baltimore. The show was created to feature as many different and unique perspectives of fatherhood that Steve could find. We all experience this wild journey differently and it's interesting to see how our backgrounds or careers or beliefs or cultures alter the way we enjoy (or not enjoy, for some) being a dad. Dad From Scratch aims to take in all those perspectives through weekly interviews. Steve Fink is the Director of News Programming and Promotion for CBS Local. He's spent 15 years with CBS, working in Baltimore and Manhattan. This podcast is not affiliated with CBS or any CBS property.

We all raise our kids with the hopes and dreams that they live a life of good health and good fortune. So what happens when your only son goes on to create one of the most popular websites in the world and becomes a multi-millionaire, best-selling author, and one of the most well-known and respected online entrepreneurs of his generation? In episode 5 of Dad From Scratch, host Steve Fink interviews Chris Ohanian, father of Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit.

We go inside his head to hear what it was like for him when Alexis struck gold with reddit and how fatherhood has changed for him, if at all, since.
