A podcast based around a curated view of culture and ways to explore a particular city, starting with NYC, as seen by a curious local. 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. To supplement and make the info more accessible, an app will be created housing the links to the mentioned events.
