    Hustlers don't quit with Christy Felix

    I am always inspired by the people that I am privileged to talk to and this week is no different. This weeks guest is none other than THE Christy Felix, Hustle List Founder and Chief Hustle Officer. Christy is equal parts admirable and inspiring, someone you meet and just know they're going places. Hearing her story reminds me of the good in the world and the things we still have power to impact right here in your own community.

Madison Niles, aka the Side Quest Queen, is a model, actress, all around creative and soon to be nurse in the Boston area.  Madison is someone who has major aura and you can’t help but shine in her presence.

    Episode 15: The Audeville Society, a local nonprofit centering performing arts with Thomas Drury-Wang

    This week, Thomas Drury-Wang, Founder and President of the Audeville Society, talks about how his nonprofit is centering performing arts in New England. The Audeville Society provides grants to those looking to build their portfolio and provides an accessible way to enrich the community through encouraging performers to follow their dreams.  Each year the Audeville Society raises funds for these grants through the Revelry Ball, which is held on February 28th, 2026, at the Royale in Boston, MA. Ticket prices as well as additional donations are used to fund the grant programs, truly making it a by New England for New England affair. This year, Revelry will provide a three-act variety featuring local performers from acrobatics to trombonists, allowing patrons to start the year with a bang.  --------------------------------------------Where to Find Our Guest------------------------------------------------- To find out more about tickets, how to volunteer at the ball or with Audville, and when grant applications open check the websites below.  Website: https://www.audevillesociety.com/ Tickets: https://www.audevillesociety.com/events Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/audevillesociety Revelry Ball Instagram:  Revelry Ball Website: https://www.therevelryball.com/ Performers! https://www.therevelryball.com/entertainment ---------------------------------------------------Mentions-------------------------------------------------------------- Lady LaRouge & Joey March producers of Worcester Draglesque https://www.instagram.com/worcesterdraglesquefestival Delta Miles producer of DIVA! https://www.instagram.com/thedeltamiles/ Boston Circus Guild https://www.bostoncircusguild.com/ Circus 617 https://www.circus617.com/ ---------------------------------------------------Support the Pod---------------------------------------------------- Follow Local Threads Podcast on all platforms https://local-threads.transistor.fm/ Leave a review if you like what you hear!  Local Threads is hosted & produced by: Molly Amatangelo Music by: Moby Gratis

    Episode 10: The Platinum Rebellion: Wear Cool Sh*t with Erin Odell Bradley

    🧵 Episode Description What happens when you stop creating to sell and start making for the joy of it? In this episode, I sit down with my friend and creative soulmate Erin Odell Bradley AKA Platinum Rebellion. Erin is an artist, designer, photographer, vintage icon, and the person who helped inspire this podcast in the first place. We talk about growing up weird, going to FIT in the ‘80s, early fashion gigs, moving cross-country, and raising a family where everyone dresses like walking artistic expression. We also get into the magic of the Queer AF fashion show, the joy of 3D-printed clothes, sewing machine rage, and why aging out loud is the move. This one’s about failing forward, making cool sh*t, and dressing for the body you have now — not the one you're waiting for.
