Chicken soup for the neo-soul

Timely; informative, and unique. The podcast has spanned conversations about politics, wealth, health, education and relationships. Offers a refreshing view of the proverbial ‘coffee and chat’; now with a more adult centered focus. I like to call it the more adult themed, ‘wine with wisdom’.

Zvet2008 ,

Chill, comfortable and inspiring.

Love wining down and maxing out with Calvin and the Southern Soul team!
