Podcast the Newsletter Features Local Switchboard NYC

“I love local podcasts for so many reasons. Listening to them is such a unique way to experience a place, and the hosts have likely started the podcast not because they want to make money or feel obligated to have a podcast, but because they really care about their subject. I have been talking to Jordan Gass-Poore’ for a long time, and I’m so glad her show Local Switchboard is back for another season. It’s a local look at the news from NYC’s five boroughs, from a women-led team. Completely beautiful, underreported stories. The first episode of the new season, The Ghosts Get Furloughed, covered what the New York City Village Halloween Parade looked like during pandemic, and interviewed the owner of the Lower East Side’s neo-burlesque venue, The Slipper Room, about what the future holds for a small entertainment space with so much to lose.”
