07 What We Owe Our Fathers: A tribute to dads and challenge to a culture that says they don’t matter

In this episode of The Restless Signal, we turn our attention to fatherhood—what it means, what it demands, and why it matters more than ever. From heroic acts of sacrifice to quiet lives of devotion, this is a tribute to the men who showed up, stood firm, and shaped the lives of those who came after them. But it’s also a challenge to a culture that increasingly mocks, sidelines, or ignores fathers altogether. In a world that too often tears down what’s good, we argue that strong, loving fatherhood isn’t just worth celebrating—it’s worth defending.

Alongside this main transmission, the Voice of the Signal weighs in on current events in The Bulletin—including the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and another episode of manufactured outrage from congressional Democrats. Plus, a fiery Letter I Shouldn’t Have to Write to people who still refuse to use the Oxford comma… and a Reason for Hope from a 107-year-old man whose quiet decency reminds us what a life well-lived really looks like.
