Sunday Paper Recommends—Week of June 15, 2025
This week at The Sunday Paper, we're sharing a television series, a podcast episode, and two books for Father's Day that we believe will add inspiration to your days. We hope these suggestions open your heart and mind and encourage you to come together for meaningful conversations.
What We’re Watching
Stick is a heartwarming new series on Apple TV+ about second chances, unlikely friendships, and finding purpose in unexpected places. Owen Wilson shines as a former golf pro mentoring a teenage talent, with a mix of humor and heart. It’s a feel-good watch that reminds us it’s never too late to start over and make a difference.
What We’re Listening To
This powerful podcast episode of Good Inside with Dr. Becky and guest Richard Reeves is a must-listen for anyone raising or simply loving boys in today’s world. As gender roles shift, Reeves offers compassionate, research-based insight into how modern fatherhood and masculinity are evolving, and why so many boys and dads are feeling left behind. It’s an eye-opening conversation that invites all of us to rethink how we support boys in becoming emotionally healthy, whole men.
What We’re Reading
Maria’s brother, Mark Shriver’s A Good Man is a deeply moving tribute to their father, Sargent Shriver, and a powerful reminder of what it means to live a life grounded in purpose, love, and service. In a world that often values success over substance, this book invites us to reconsider our definitions of greatness. It’s a soulful, inspiring read that challenges each of us to do good.
We're recommending another read for you and the children in your life. Papa’s Coming Home is a tender, heartfelt picture book that celebrates the everyday moments of family, love, and belonging. Through beautifully illustrated scenes, Chasten Buttigieg and illustrator Dan Taylor capture the joy of unconditional love. This book is a comforting reminder that coming home is one of life’s greatest gifts.
