In 2005, Richard Paul produced a story for Studio 360 called “Fighting With My Dad.” Richard hasn’t talked to his dad since.

“I can’t think of anything more fraught,” Richard says, “than doing a story that explores intimate things about your relationship with your parents.”

On this edition of HowSound, Richard talks about interviewing his dad and the epiphany that lead to breaking all ties.
