Frank Thorp - Paternity, Pandemic, Parenthood, Politics & Peppercorn Saison Please

This week on the pod we are joined by Frank Thorp. Frank is a dad
to one, a two time Emmy nominated and Peabody winning journalist,
a Producer & Off-air Reporter covering the US Senate for NBC
News, and a dad living out his last few days on paternity
leave. 


We sat down with Frank on Thursday night following the 2020
election and were fully prepared to watch the race get called
while we recorded, but no such luck! We covered a lot with Frank
from he and his partner, Hallie Jackson, making the decision for
him to take a long paternity leave and his passion behind that,
creating balance for their family with both him and Hallie being
reporters, the challenge of having a newborn during Covid and so
much more! 


Frank kicked us off with a great Today’s Dad definition that
focused on being an active participant in parenting with your
spouse/co-parent, empowering your partner and empowering
yourself. A big thanks to Frank for joining us for a great
episode.
