The Grit City Podcast
Hosted from beautiful Tacoma, WA. Covering everything business and entertainment in the Pacific Northwest!
About the show
The Grit City Podcast is a weekly podcast, hosted by four friends from Tacoma, WA. - Affectionately known as "Grit City" to the people who know and love it.
Every Monday we release an episode highlighting local business owners, entrepreneurs, authors, artists, and unique characters that personify the blue collar, hard work ethic people associate with “Grit”.
The founders and original hosts are technology workers who met on the job and bonded over common interests. The Grit City Podcast was launched during the summer of 2014 and had over 120 episodes in their first season.
Relaunching in 2018 with more friends and family involved. GCP's goal is to become the "Must Listen To" podcast around Seattle and the Pacific Northwest with a fan base of people around the world. People who identify with "Grit" and understand that the reputation is real.
We would love to hear how you found us. Get in touch here or: info@gritcitypodcast.com
