This two-disc CD collection features stories from the NPR archives that capture the essence of fatherhood. Hosted by Weekend Edition Saturday Host Scott Simon, it brings together stories that are comforting, bittersweet, and everything in-between.

Driveway Moments for Dads features over 100 minutes of NPR favorites, including a humorous account of a father’s habitual snoring (“Ode to a Father’s Snoring”); a dad’s reflection on leading his son’s boy scout troop (A Boy and His Dad’s Life: Scout’s Honor); an insightful look at the difficulties of being a teenage father (“Youth Radio: California 'Fathers at Work' Program”); and a touching story about lessons an NPR Host learned from his comedian father ("From Scott Simon’s Father, the Gift of Laughs").
