The Question Game for Mother's Day
05/08/24 • 20 min
I had the privilege of celebrating Mother's Day by inviting the queen of my heart, my mother, onto the Black man Talking Emotions podcast for a tribute unlike any other. Our conversation is a tapestry woven with the threads of intimate revelations, laughter over shared musical soul-ties like Prince's "Adore," and the profound longing to connect with loved ones lost to time. It's a journey through the corridors of our past, revisiting the safety of childhood memories and the echoes of old traumas, all while playfully speculating about a future where time travel might just be on the itinerary.
The heart of our dialogue beats in sync with the pulsing desires and dreams that have shaped our lives. My mother's candid reflections on her aspirations, from envisioning a serene life as a stay-at-home grandma to the yearning for an odyssey across Europe's historical tapestries, draw you into the essence of her spirit. We muse on the seasonal charm of fall, the enchantment of the Green Tree Festival, and the cinematic escapes that bind us, from the nostalgic grip of a Thriller jacket to the escapades of "Independence Day." By pulling back the curtain on our emotions and aspirations, we hope to offer you a mirror reflecting the universal pursuit of joy, the enduring strength of dreams, and the unbreakable bonds of family love. Join us for this Mother's Day special, where emotions run deep and aspirations soar high.

Midseason 2 Check In
Dom L'Amour has a mid season check in.
Navigating the tumultuous waters of a creative life, I've often found myself at the mercy of my own inner critic and the unintended barbs of loved ones. This episode is a raw exploration of my mid-season journey, where I lay bare the struggles and triumphs that have shaped the narrative of my life and work. You're invited to experience the vulnerability of an artist who wrestles with the distractions of a digital world and the pressure-cooker environment of art as a business. From the valleys of self-doubt to the peaks of proud accomplishments, join me as I dissect the complex dance of maintaining personal relationships while pursuing the relentless demands of creation.
As we peel back the layers of my artistic process, I reflect on the sheer determination it takes to bring a new album into existence. It's a balancing act of innovation and authenticity, promotion and genuine connection—a challenge I willingly embrace in the pursuit of musical storytelling. And in this space, we also shine a light on the importance of mental health, extending an arm of solidarity and gratitude to those like Derek Statten, who've walked with me from the very beginning. So tune in, as we foster a community that not only listens but truly hears, and together, we champion the conversations that draw us closer to understanding the emotional depth of the human experience.

The Dance of Adulthood, Embracing the Past and Present with Reverend Jeff
Dom L'Amour speaks with good friend Jeff Holtmeier AKA @jeff_holtmeier about Career choices, being a father and husband, things we miss from college, and so much more.
When Reverend Jeff Holtmeier and I, sit down to chat, the air fills with a blend of laughter and introspection that only old friends can stir up. Jeff’s journey from the revelry of our college days to the rich fulfillment of family life in Washington, Missouri, paints a vivid picture of the transformative power of returning to one's roots. Together, we trace the contours of our past escapades—those theater department triumphs and bartending nights that shaped us—and how those experiences have sculpted the men we've become, dedicated to our families and communities with a newfound sense of purpose.
There's a certain magic in reminiscing about the tight-knit bonds formed over impromptu travels and shared milestones, like that unforgettable senior cabaret performance Jeff and I once nailed. Our dialogue navigates the delicate dance between holding onto the camaraderie of those treasured college connections and embracing the beautiful complexities of adulthood. We weave through the chapters of our lives, from the echoes of raucous basketball games to the tender tales of parenting, reflecting on the natural sacrifices that feel like second nature when you're shaping the lives of your little ones.
As I extend my heartfelt thanks to you, our listeners, for joining us in this mosaic of emotions and storytelling, Jeff and I hope you'll find warmth in our shared narratives. The Black Man Talking Emotions podcast is more than just a series of conversations—it's a space for acknowledging the journey, the lessons learned, and the profound appreciation for the company we keep along the way. Tune in to gather insight, share a few chuckles, and maybe even see your own story reflected in ours.
