#10 - Killing Me Softly - Top Ten Breakdowns of 2023
Send us a textI’m starting a countdown today of my top 10 Breakdowns of 2023! Thank you all for weighing in on this. We’ll start with number 10, which is one of my favorite Breakdowns ever. It’s the story of how Lori Lieberman was denied writing credit on a song she greatly contributed to – “Killing me Softly.“ I had the chance to see Lori in concert at Carnegie Hall yesterday, and got to finally meet her in person after having interviewed her for my podcast, and staying in contact with her over the last few months. She truly is a lovely woman, and I was so honored to bring more attention to her story. She is more than the wrong that was done to her, and I have learned so much about taking ownership of your life and art from her example. I’m so proud to now call her “friend.” Support the showStay up to date with all things Dara Starr Tucker here:Dara Starr Tucker LinkTreeDara Starr Tucker TikTokDara Starr Tucker InstagramDara Starr Tucker YouTubeDara Starr Tucker Facebook

EP 24 | Discussing Antisemitism -- Reading the Room
Send us a textIs this the right time to talk about antisemitism? Is there a wrong time to talk about it? Can we have the conversation about Palestinian liberation at the same time? This is a pretty personal, impromptu episode I decided to do with Greg Bryant to explore questions I'm asking myself right now as someone who has been a strong advocate for the Jewish people. We try to be careful not to equate issues of antisemitism with issues of anti-Zionism, but why does a conversation about one so quickly lead to a conversation about the other? Doing any advocacy work around antisemitism is going to require that I be more outspoken about what's going on in the world right now. And I can't say I'm looking forward to learning how to hold those two realities simultaneously. But I'm going to try.Learn more about my music and how you can support this channel below: https://www.linktr.ee/daratuckerbhttps://www.patreon.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@darastarrtucker https://www.facebook.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.instagram.com/daratuckerbhttps://www.twitter.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.darastarrtucker.comSupport the showStay up to date with all things Dara Starr Tucker here:Dara Starr Tucker LinkTreeDara Starr Tucker TikTokDara Starr Tucker InstagramDara Starr Tucker YouTubeDara Starr Tucker Facebook

EP 23 | Je'Niece McCullough Talks Bernie Mac
Send us a textJe'Niece McCullough worked side-by-side with her dad, Bernie Mac for the last few years of his life. She had a front-row seat into his process, and she was able to observe him up close and personal at the very top of his game. She didn't grow up as the privileged child of a famous man -- Bernie achieved most of his commercial success when she was well into adulthood. For that reason, Je'Niece has a unique perspective on fame and wealth. She was able to observe the consistency in her father's character as he made his slow climb to the top. Bernie was a 'real one,' and Je'Niece is a product of his tutelage. Follow Je'Niece's podcast, Bernie's Daughter, where she interviews the people who knew him best. If you love Bernie, you'll love her podcast. This is part of a series I'm doing on fathers and daughters.

EP 21 | Holly Robinson Peete Talks Matt Robinson
Send us a textMany of us know Holly Robinson Peete from her long career in television, beginning with "21 Jump Street" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." But did you know her first on-screen appearance happened much earlier? She's the daughter of Matt Robinson, who was the first "Gordon" on Sesame Street. Holly actually made her television debut on her dad's show in the early '70's. This is the first of several episodes where we'll focus on Dads and Daughters. In this episode, Holly talks about what it was like to grow up with a dad whose job she didn't always understand. She also discusses the many challenges he faced in attempting to bring an inner-city character, Roosevelt Franklin, to the airwaves at a time when allowances were not made for a multitude of Black voices on the air. Holly also discusses her career over the last 40 years, and gives insight into the driving force behind the "HollyRod" foundation she and her husband, Rodney Peete began all the way back in 1997, which is still going strong today.
