Coming Soon: Why Fathers Cry

Hosted by #1 New York Times best-selling author Kwame Alexander, Why Fathers Cry explores lessons we’ve learned - and unlearned - and the ones we are still learning. Stories about longing, love, and loss. Journeys guided by faith and forgiveness - of others, yes, but also of self - past, present, and future. Aspects of fatherhood from a multitude of perspectives. And how getting vulnerable and getting real is the connective tissue that binds us together, gives us strength, defines our purpose, and feeds our soul.

Featuring intimate conversations anchored in poetry, with guests including James Beard Award-winning educator and author Bryant Terry, stand-up comedian, director, executive producer, and author W. Kamau Bell, Oregon Poet Laureate Anis Mojgani, and more. Inspired by Kwame Alexander's memoir, Why Fathers Cry at Night (May 2023, Little, Brown and Company).

Premiering in Fall 2023, wherever you get your podcasts.
