CosmicSlopicity

Join me for an episode i’ve been conceptualizing for years, called The Soul Show: Celestial. It’s songs of spaceships, planets, moons and such, starting with the seventies (Sun Ra, Labelle, Jimmy Castor Return To Forever, …) and traveling forward to the present and near-present (Copperwire, Ash Walker, The War and Treaty), with plenty in between. Welcome to CosmicSlopicity. This is the soul dimension of Rocket Man and Space Oddity. BROADCAST TIMES

After a crazy April, it’s time to dive back into some projects:
Nat Adderley Jr.’s interview, having been excerpted in an April episode of The Soul Show, will be posted in video format in the Interviews section of this website.
The Soul Pod’s drive with Dormont arts catalyst Amy Kline is now in editing, with a release date by early June. Selecta and I have a filming redo date in mid-May. Some other important people are lined up in principle; details to come.

The Soul Show, 1995 to 2025, and counting
Don Patterson’s brainchild was founded in May of ‘95 with his friend Stef Chatman. For many years it lived on WYEP, and is now on 10+ FM stations in the US and Caribbean. The 30-year milestone deserves a dedicated posting, so stay tuned. Thank you for these decades of support.
