"It's a Parent" is a show all about the parent hosted by me, Joon Chung. I'm a writer, comedian, and new dad. I'm fascinated by how much our parents have had an effect on us and what that does to our own approach to raising our kids. I ask other parents how they were raised, who they are now because of it, and what they'll do with their own kids.
