Rick Kaempfer was a producer for some of the biggest names in Chicago radio. But when his third son was born in 2002, a decade-long gig came to an end the following year, and his wife got a job offer she couldn’t refuse…Rick took a deep breath and dove into the deep end of the stay-at-home dad pool.

The hilarious and touching exploits that he wrote about for 10 years have been gathered in a book with the same name as the column, “Father Knows Nothing.”Rick Kaempfer joins us now in studio to regale us with stories and wisdom.(Flickr/JefferyTurner)
