About This Podcast
Every episode of Questions I Wish I’d Asked My Parents features a guest with several impressive accomplishments – and one nagging question. No matter the books published, the patients cured, or the corporate ladders climbed, once we have lost our parents we realize how many things we left unasked. Our host, Mel Foster, a veteran interviewer and owner of Your Video Memoir and his co-host, Dr. Jeffrey London, is a retired child psychiatrist. Together they probe the question each guest wishes he or she had asked. Aiming not necessarily for an answer, but instead for an acceptance of one’s self as a son or daughter with an unresolved connection to a beloved parent.
