Dad Read This E9

In this episode, we rocket into Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary—complete with Kailani’s signature sound effects (pew pew!). We unpack the high-stakes science, wild plot twists, and why Ryland Grace is such a compelling (and reluctant) hero. Along the way, we dive into common themes we’ve noticed across our book picks—like memory, identity, and what it really means to be brave. Come for the interstellar survival, stay for the bickering, bonding, and belly laughs.
