It’s about the passion of discovery, and hidden gems of a city, Maybe that tiny jazz club, or the pop-up food shop. Could be that exhibition that you would have otherwise missed. Perhaps that amazing artist who is doing a script concert at that club. Along with interviews with those have that obscure or privileged information.
