Listen: The Art of Fatherhood Podcast

In honor of Father’s Day in the U.S. this Sunday, I recommend tuning into The Art of Fatherhood podcast by Art Eddy. This series delves into the multifaceted journey of fatherhood, featuring heartwarming stories, expert advice and candid conversations with dads from all walks of life. Whether you're a father, aspiring to be one, or simply curious about the diverse experiences of fatherhood around the world, this podcast offers loads of wisdom and inspiration. Listen to The Art of Fatherhood here on Spotify or Apple Podcasts this Father’s Day weekend—and happy Father’s Day to all the dads and grandpas out there!

Watch: Tems’ Tiny Desk Concert

Early last week, I saw that NPR released the latest episode of their Tiny Desk Concert series, this one featuring Tems. Tems, born Temilade Openiyi, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer known for her soulful voice and blend of R&B, Afrobeats and neo-soul. As a big Tems fan, I was excited to watch this episode which was released as part of Tiny Desk’s Black Music Month series. I was immediately entranced by the performance and blown away at how Tems is able to sound exactly the same (if not even better somehow) live as she does on her records. This performance has officially joined my Mount Rushmore of Tiny Desk Concerts. You can watch the performance here on YouTube and listen to her new album Born in the Wild here on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.
