   ⚠️Podcast Announcement⚠️ | Local Music Shapes Culture

   Hello lovely local music fans! Local Music Shapes Culture is going on indefinite hiatus after the next two episodes ❤️ I will still be online but focusing on other projects I am likely starting a different podcast soon, and I have not decided if I am going to start a new Substack publication for it or publish it on this one. If the latter happens, feel free to stick around. My Substack URL is my name, alisonchristoff.substack.com (https://alisonchristoff.substack.com/), so I am inclined to keep whatever’s next on the same Substack publication,but different RSS feed (this is not relevant to you if you do not watch/listen on Substack). Would love to stay in touch with whatever comes <3 Xoxo Alison Christoff Get full access to ⧉ Local Music Shapes Culture ⧉ at alisonchristoff.substack.com/subscribe (https://alisonchristoff.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4)
