WGDP is a podcast for dads (and everyone else, really). Hosted by Robert Chapman, WGDP originated in 2018 and has made its way back to the dad scene in 2026. It features dads from all walks of life.
The more you listen, the more you'll discover there is no "World's Greatest Dad." We all make mistakes. No one is perfect. We're all just a bunch of guys trying to do our best, growing one day at at time.
In episode 5 of the World's Greatest Dad Podcast, host Robert Chapman talks with Joseph Metz, published author and educator living in Alabama, but originally from central Mississippi.
In this episode, he talks about what it was like growing up as one of a handful of Jewish kids in a small, southern town as well as the story about his grandfather who was recognized by the Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and the Mississippi Legislature as the state's only holocaust survivor.
He also talks about the loss of his father and how suicide can affect any family of any walk of life.
You can find Joseph's book "Behind the Silent Doors" at Lulu.com.
