LG interviews Christine Lilyea, proprietor of Slash Run in Washington, D.C., on the topic of small music venues in the U.S. that are facing closures and financial troubles, the importance of rallying behind the venues we love, and the reasons for saving them. Christine talks about adapting during the pandemic and how her venue has been able to do so without laying off a single employee in the process. This episode features live music and stage banter from Thelma and the Sleaze to remind us all of the value of saving these cultural beacons for a post-corona world.
