Ep. 34 - Chicago Hope - a podcast by Noor Kidwai

In this Episode I talk with comedian Aaron Foster. Aaron is an American comedian based out of Chicago. We talk about the first time we went on tour together in Canada and watching the Canadian Olympic team win gold over America in hockey while he was in Canada. 

Aaron tells us about the culture and racial segregation in Chicago and how it transferred to the comedy scene. He tells us about the history of Chicago and how it led to the racial divide. He explains how he and a few other comics were some of the first to break the racial divide and bring different people together.   

Aaron also talks about the racial issues he has seen traveling around America. He tells us how he believes racism has changed during the Obama and Trump years. 

Aaron also talks about his mental health during the second lock downs in Chicago.
