Ira's own father Barry Glass co-hosts this special father's day edition of the show. • LA writer/performer Sandra Tsing Loh discovers that a local rock band has recorded a song about her own father, wildly misinterpreting who he is. They think he's a free spirit; she believes he's a worried, miserly grump. She invites the band and her father into the studio to discuss it. • Sherman Alexie's story Because My Father was the Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. • Audio artist Jay Allison and writer Dan Robb present an audio montage on the moment Robb's parents divorced. • Chicago playwright Beau O'Reilly talks about how he reconciled with his estranged father years ago by becoming an alcoholic just like him.
