This month's featured podcast is 77 Flavors
77 Flavors of Chicago connects you to Chicago through history, culture, and food. Join hosts Sara Faddah and Dario Durham as they tell Chicago's tasteful story.
Our special guest podcast is Say Their Name
"Say Their Name" focuses on the assault and killing of people by police, highlighting incidents throughout the United States.
Serving as a memorialization for these individuals, we learn about who these people were through the words of the people that knew them best, while also helping us understand what these situations do to their families and communities not only in the immediate aftermath, but also what happens when the news-cycle moves on and the social media attention shifts focus.
We offer solutions, spread awareness and support these families & communities.
Yng Romance is a rapper dedicated to love and romance. They are going to bless the space with an original piece to kick off the first ever Podcast Salon.
