Description
A reintroduction. blankSLATE is what comes next for SaVon, a clean canvas to reveal a voice he hasn't fully shown yet.
A culture and music commentary podcast going past the headline and past the algorithm to find a different lens on media, music, and everything happening within the culture. A return to the kind of podcasting that built the format, before the clip economy reduced every show to a moment.
Two shows. One name.
The signature show drops weekly. Long-form episodes with rotating voices, slowing the headline down to read the fine print — bringing a lens the algorithm trains you to ignore.
"blankSLATE Radio" is the real-time companion, SaVon solo, reacting to the moment with the kind of perspective the lane is missing, shaped by the audience through mailbag submissions.
For people who want more than a hot take.
