About this Episode

Today, in honor of Father’s Day, we travel around the world with Naomi Melati Bishop as she recounts her father’s spectacular adventures -- and takes us on a mission to honor his final wishes.

Naomi Melati Bishop was born in Indonesia to odd soul mates: a Javanese princess and a wild New Yorker dad. She moved to NYC when she was eleven, where she currently resides with her daughter and partner. Naomi earned her MFA at NYU’s Graduate Creative Writing Program and works as a writer, editor, and teacher. Naomi runs an editing service, TheEdit.nyc, and is currently at work on her first book, a memoir about her mysterious origins, new motherhood, her parents' love story, and her inheritance of worldwide adventures.
