about soulful salon podcast
The Soulful Salon Podcast is the brainchild of three distinct personalities drawn together by their love of politics, culture and the sound of their own voices. Chicago based C.G. and Paco independently have entertained the idea of producing their own separate podcasts in the past but as fate would have it, decided to combine their forces and make one together. Rounding out Soulful Salon is the "Ringo" of the group Breeze who resides in Hollywood, CA and just so happens to be the little brother of Paco.
While C.G. and Paco are both parents and reside in the Midwest, they have distinct ideas on culture, politics and music. While C.G.'s tastes run towards highbrow rock music and foreign movies, Paco is more comfortable with geek culture and gospel music. In the meantime, Breeze, the eternal bachelor, dips his toes in all of those genres with strong predilections towards Bear bars, transgressive fiction and alternative rock.
Once thing we they all share in common is their love of a good conversation as well as a shared admiration of pop culture as (remotely) mature African Americans who reside in different parts of the country.
They hope you enjoy the show and tell your friends!
