Conversations with people whose stories changed mine.
The host
Eric Falgout
METAIRIE, LOUISIANA
"Barber in Metairie, 25 years behind the chair. Got sober, and the long talks that helped him get there turned into this show."
Eric Falgout has cut hair in Metairie for more than 25 years. He grew up around New Orleans, got clean after years of addiction, and credits a lot of his recovery to long, honest conversations. The kind where nobody's performing. He started the show because the best of those talks weren't happening with famous people. They were happening in his chair, with regular people who had been through something real. He still records close to home and mostly talks to people whose stories have stuck with him, or with someone he loves.
Shot on 6 Blackmagic cameras.
About the show
What we do here.
This started as conversations I was already having in my chair. People sit down, and somewhere between the first cut and the last, they start telling you things. Real things. What they've been through, what they're working on, what almost broke them. The show is the same thing without the haircut: long talks with people who've lived something worth talking about. No script, no rush, nobody pretending they've got it all figured out. If you like long-form but want less performance and more honesty, this one's for you.
Recorded in Metairie, Louisiana.
The Chairapy connection
Chairapy is also a salon in Metairie. Same chair these conversations started in. If the show sounds like people talking honestly without much polish, that's the whole idea.
