“We believe there’s so many unique things and people in Los Angeles and consider the podcast and zine an extension of our brand. Locals and visitors alike can get the full Los Angeles experience in tasting our vodka and immersing themselves in the culture of the city. They can sip locally, listen locally and read locally. It’s full circle,” said Rupert Runewitsch, Partner for Our/Los Angeles.
The podcast exemplifies the love the brand has for this city and the people in it. While it does not focus on vodka, it is a natural continuation of the brand’s mission. All episodes are recorded from the Arts District-based distillery, which also gives guests the opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art facility and sample the vodka. The brand is continuing to further their ties with Los Angeles by looking to partner with Alexa-integrated hotels, making it as easy as ever for guests and locals alike to access local news, stories and interviews with the podcast.
