Midnight Soulstice is a Richmond Soul and Funk radio show, hosted by Mr. Felty & DJ Pari, featuring guest artists and DJs.The show airs every Friday from 11pm-1am EST. Listen live at 97.3fm or WRIR.org

We’re shaking it up a bit for this podcast. Get ready for two hours of raw, lowdown and nasty Funk selected by DJ Pari.
