This week, we're celebrating the papas (the PAPAS!) Our Jewish guest is Violet Ramis Stiel, whose memoir Ghostbuster's Daughter is about growing up as the eldest child of comedy legend Harold Ramis. She tells us about life with an unconventional yet loving father, how her upbringing influenced her own parenting style, and finally grasping the impact her father had on American culture after his 2014 death. Our gentile of the week is Matt Schneider, who created the City Dads Group and hosts The Modern Dads Podcast. The primary care giver for his children, he tells us about how being rejected from the local mom's group inspired him to start a group for fathers, which now offers programming in more than 30 cities, including a New Dad Bootcamp.

Harold Ramis was a comedy genius. From Ghostbusters to Caddy Shack to Groundhog's Day, his films have defined comedy for a generation. Sadly Ramis passed away in 2014. Last year, his daughter Violet Ramis Stiel wrote a book about her relationship with her father entitled: "Ghostbuster's Daughter- Life with my Dad Harold Ramis". Peter Kreten spoke with Violet about her father, the book, and much more.
This week on the show, we're joined by Violet Ramis Stiel, author of the new book, "Ghostbuster's Daughter: Life with My Dad Harold Ramis." Violet talks about her approach to the book, her father's balance of private and public life, the art of parenting the Ramis way, how his legacy continues on to this day, and so much more. "Ghostbuster's Daughter" is available wherever fine books are sold as well as on audiobook via Audible and Amazon!

The daughter of legend Harold Ramis joins us today live in studio. Violet Ramis Stiel has written a terrific book called, "Ghostbuster's Daughter" about her life with her father and everyone's father of modern movie comedy. You realize we're talking about the writer and director of Animal House, Caddyshack and Groundhog Day. The movies this podcast is completely based on. This is a miracle - where I pretty much just gush over her dad for an hour and a half and she tries to get a word in. You know, the usual. But she's a great person and a real good sport and I will always be grateful she was kind enough to grace us with her presence. :) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
"My book is about myself and my father, Harold Ramis. It’s about our relationship together, and him, and sort of just the story of our life. I wrote it after he died because I just didn’t want to forget anything about him. I needed to have something to represent and capture him for myself, for my family, my children, and for everyone that knew and loved him."
