Meditations on fatherhood

Hugh Weber passed away in March 2023.

On today's show...

We resurface a few of our recent conversations with dads. These are stories of love, leadership, loss and connection.

Lori Walsh revisits interviews with a creative, a poet and a performer—all of whom are fathers.

First, we hear the voice of an old friend. Hugh Weber was the publisher of the magazine "The Great Discontent" and the author of the book "Dude to Dad."

Weber died not too long after his interview with In the Moment.

Joshua Bennett joined the show to discuss his latest book "Spoken Word: A Cultural History." He explores themes of mentorship, literary leadership and having an impact on the next generation.

We end the show with Lori's full conversation with Pierce Freelon. He explores his thoughts on being a dad, the portrayal of Black culture in the media and finding the fun in children's music.
