Concrete Mama: The Podcast

• "Deedee"

  You know him as Concrete Mama’s resident historian, but this week, we journey down the winding road of Steven “Red” Edwards’ life, painting a vivid picture of a man who’s both a compassionate leader on the inside and a beloved family man on the outside. We’ll hear him sit down with Vik to discuss their parallel journeys with addiction, and an eye-opening conversation with Demar further demonstrates the healing power of true vulnerability. Demar swaps in for Red on today’s History Report: The Black Prisoners’ Forum Unlimited, 1970sResources for those struggling with addiction:https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/helplines/national-helplinehttps://drughelpline.org/https://nationalrehabhotline.org/Featured Music (sourced from Artlist):Tell It in a Letter - Straight White TeethHelpless in Your Arms - Leroy WildBetter Without You - Straight White TeethAin’t Looking Back - Richard FarrellPirate Blues - Leon Laudenbach3 O’Clock Blues - Tony PetersenBlue Collar Blues - Tony PetersenSea and Rain - Tony PetersenIt’s True - Cunningham ManorBroken Leg - Straight White TeethWild - Swirling ShipFather’s Eyes - Stav GoldbergHomebrew - AvesRaising the Stakes - T Bless and the ProfessionalsFunkymania - The Original OrchestraOne - WalzCoffee Stop - Creative Cuts - AvesHosted on BuzzSprout.
