All Over the Place with Dara Starr Tucker

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.

Send us a textThe Khazar Theory, which states that the Ashkenazi Jews are not ethnically Jewish, has had a long and sordid history, having been promoted by a small group of scholars, writers and geneticists for the last 200 years. In the age of social media, the theory has made its way to the mainstream, picking up support from some very high profile celebrities. But what is the historical, linguistic and genetic grounding for this theory? Why has it continued to gain steam despite being repeatedly discredited by scholars across multiple disciplines? Dara and Dr. Dan are unpacking "The Khazar Theory" while discussing the proliferation of misinformation, and their shared goal of educating those who seek real understanding and knowledge.

Send us a textBy now, most people are familiar with the concept of cultural appropriation. But many questions still remain about cultural appropriation between minority groups. This is hardly a straightforward question, and the nuances that exist between various people groups can be discussed endlessly. But is there a "quick and dirty" way to describe what happens when two non-dominant cultures exhibit cultural insensitivity towards one another?

Send us a textThis week we're discussing Jason Aldean's "Small Town" video. I'm one of the 5 people that thinks there's a chance he didn't know the significance of the site where the video was filmed. Doesn't make it less racist, though. But it does reveal one of the common traps people can fall into when they try to claim ignorance around racial history. The song is an obvious dogwhistle to lynching and sundown towns, but the part many people seem unwilling to acknowledge is the conspiracy of silence that exists around race in many white families in the U.S. Music City Select: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCY9n1rMiQYSee me live in New York:  https://2023.jazz.org/dara-starr-tuckerSee me live in D.C. - https://rb.gy/lj7lvhttps://www.linktr.ee/daratuckerbhttps://www.patreon.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@darastarrtucker https://www.facebook.com/darastarrtuckerSupport 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

Send us a textThe PR game never seems to end where political labels are concerned. It's in the best interest of conservatives to make reference to the fact that originally, Democrats were the "very, very bad racists" and not the Republicans. The truth is, most white folks were racist before the advent of the Civil Rights movement. One group fought to preserve slavery, though, and it wasn't the progressives. Party switch denial is nothing new, but the messaging of conservative groups has shifted in recent years. More frequently, they seem to be using Black mouthpieces to get out their spin on why they shouldn't be thought of as the natural successors to those who attempted to secede the Union over Negro slavery. We delve into this topic today, and end the show with a discussion of my new album & two upcoming shows. Purchase tickets to my NYC show here: https://2023.jazz.org/dara-starr-tuckerPurchase tickets to my D.C. show here: https://tinyurl.com/58zmf7pmBe sure to join the Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/darastarrtucker. Subscribe to the "I'm All Over the Place" podcast through your favorite podcast provider here: https://allovertheplace.buzzsprout.comLearn 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

Send us a textYou may know about the kiss shared between actress Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner -- what's widely thought of as the first interracial kiss on American television, but you may not know the deeper story of the hostility Nichols had to endure behind the scenes, and how close she came to walking away from the show altogether -- a decision that was curtailed by a very influential voice.

Send us a textEver wonder why accusations of "Socialism!" tend to be bandied about whenever someone suggests compassionate social policies that consider the vulnerable? Are those accusations accurate? If they are, what does that mean for democracy? My next show is in New York on the 11th of September. I would love to meet you.
