For the second episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories I'm joined by guest DJ Heather representing stories from Chicago. We discuss a range of topics from the celebration of her 35 year DJ career, her experiences in the Chicago House Music Scene of the 80's and 90's, working at Gramophone records, as well as her experiences over the years as a DJ and Producer.
