Short Back And Sides Show

Welcome to the Short Back and Sides Show (SBAS), the podcast that pays homage to the rich tradition of black barber shop culture. Join our five professional hosts, The Doc aka Wayne, Million-are-Mike aka Mike, Pleasure P aka Pascal, Trife aka Terry, RW aka Ries, and Mr Blake aka Kieron, as they engage in insightful conversations about the past, present, and future experiences of black men.

SBAS is more than just a podcast; it's a virtual barber shop where we gather to exchange ideas, seek wisdom, and offer our perspectives on hard-hitting topics. Drawing from our diverse backgrounds and professional expertise, we tackle subjects that are important to the black male experience.

From thought-provoking discussions on identity, race, and social justice to personal growth, entrepreneurship, and beyond, we explore the nuances and complexities of navigating the world as black men born around the 80s. Join us for raw, unfiltered conversations that challenge conventions and spark meaningful dialogue.
