The Salem Tovar Podcast

Hello, random internet people! My name is Salem Tovar & every other Sunday, I deep dive into the latest pop culture trends/topics and examine them way too seriously to see how they affect us socially & mentally in the silly little real world beyond our screens—encouraging everyone to laugh at life no matter how serious the topic is, but also to provoke the thought that things are far more profound than they appear! Tiktok, pop culture & bbl's- no subject is too surface level for me, I will always find a way to make it deeper than it's supposed to be.
