EDTalks (But Mostly Listens): Live Conversation Series with Ed Saavedra and Special Guests

Long before achieving institutional validation, host Ed Saavedra was interrupting dinners in at least three counties to hear directly from the artists, activists, historians, journalists and musicians he admired most. Decades later, where in-person, immersive conversation is a rarity even for folks whose digital avatars list thousands of “friends”, Saavedra invites audience members to join him and a guest in Southtown’s living room, Brick at Blue Star.
