Language of the Soul Podcast
Please HELP FUND SEASON 3! No amount too small. Visit: throne.com/language_of_the_soul Based on Dominick Domingo’s acclaimed book by the same name, Language of the Soul Podcast explores the infinite ways in which life, simply put, is story. Individually, we’re all products of the stories we’ve been exposed to. Collectively, culture is the sum of its history. Our respective worldviews are little more than stories we tell about ourselves. Socialization is the amalgamation of narratives we weave about the human condition, shaping everything from the codes we live by to policy itself. Language of the Soul Podcast spotlights master storytellers in the Arts and Entertainment, from cinema to the literary realm. It explores topical social issues through the lens of narrative, with an eye on the march toward human potential. And as always, a nudge to embrace the power of story in our lives… To order the book that inspired the podcast, Language of the Soul: How Story Became the Means by which We Transform, visit: dominickdomingo.com/books To book a Speaking Engagement with Dominick: dominickdomingo.com/speaking Think you would be a great guest for our podcast; please submit a request at LOTS Guest Pitch Form.

AI doomsday videos are everywhere right now and they all have the same punchline: humanity is on borrowed time. We slow that panic down and ask what is actually driving it, because the scariest version of the story is not a machine that “hates” us. It is a machine that is indifferent to us, able to optimize outcomes with zero emotional attachment and zero loyalty to the human species.
If you’ve ever been deeply moved by a film while another dismissed it as ‘woke’ propaganda, you are keenly aware: we don’t just consume stories, we filter them through worldview, history, and identity. In this episode, Dominick and Virginia take on the messy question of Art Versus Propaganda by looking at what actually separates inspired creative expression—art that transforms—from messaging desi...
The Final Nail is a short story from host Dominick Domingo's latest collection, "Every Last Dragonfly." It's a compilation of short stories and essays that is largely a portrait of the sometimes thin veil between the material world and the metaphysical—the rare glimpses that can haunt or inspire—sustaining us in our daily toil. During our most recent episode, Dominick and co-host Virginia Grenier explored the chasm betw...
It's human nature to 'flatten' a dimensional world into binary categories we can easily comprehend. Similarly, there is often a price attached to nuance and complexity. In this episode, we explore the impulse to enforce limiting tropes—from gender roles and relationship models to labels and institutions—frankly, every aspect of the human condition. In this episode, Dominick and Virginia draw from the literary realm and ...
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with pastor and theologian Anthony Delgado to discuss the continuum between classical Greek mythology/philosophical tradition and burgeoning Christian doctrine. We identify the thought forms, tenets, characters or figures, enduring archetypes and story templates that thread STORY together over time, from both a comparative religion standpoint and a more esoteric, mystical lens. Best of all, to...
