The Local Glow is an independent, high-production podcast based out of Chicago, Illinois and created by Tariq Shihadah. This podcast is for the bedroom musician diving into the vast musical ecosystem around them, for the poet-at-heart, scrawling words in the back of every notebook, and for the consumer of all things art.

The ambient, post-rock influenced music by this self-described "Midwest Folk" artist will draw you into a place of introspection and vulnerability. With graceful instrumentation and thought provoking lyrics, Discoverer asks you to come along for the journey to discover the music that lies waiting in our bones.
