C'Mon Son! The Podcast

As we embark on week two of our "C'Mon Son!" Complex Con seven-week summer series, we're running back our interview with Raymond Santana.

Dubbed "the Central Park Five," Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise were coerced into giving false confessions by prosecutors, before spending a number of years behind bars. Everyone is talking about Ava DuVernay's "When They See Us" since it's release, so it's only right we recap our teary-eyed interview with Mr. Santana. Brace yourselves everyone, this is rough to get through.

REMINDER:
One lucky C’Mon Son! listener PER WEEK can email Ed Lover directly at [email protected], tell us why you want to be at ComplexCon, Ed will pick the best response, read it on NEXT week’s episode AND there’s a high chance – Ed Lover will hand deliver your passes to you right here in Chicago. Seven weeks. Seven episodes. Seven pairs of Complex Con passes. It’s that simple!

What up ya'll, Ed Lover here. This week kicks off our seven-episode summer series, powered by my friends at ComplexCon. In case you’re unfamiliar, I now broadcast live every weekday morning with my radio show in Chicago (104-3 Jams, Chicago's #1 for Throwbacks ;), so Chicago is my new place of residence! So of course, when I found out ComplexCon was coming here to the south side area of Chicago – I wanted my podcast and my morning show involved. So with that being said – over the next seven weeks – one lucky listener PER WEEK can email me directly at [email protected] and tell me why you should be at ComplexCon, I will pick the best response, read it on next week’s episode AND there’s a high chance – I will personally hand deliver your passes to you right here in the amazing and resilient city of Chicago. Seven weeks. Seven episodes. Seven pairs of Complex Con passes. It’s that simple!
