    <description>The Grit City Podcast is a weekly audio experience like no other! Hosted from the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington - also known as "Grit City," our show has been entertaining and informing listeners since 2014. And what a ride it's been! 
Every week, we release a new episode that introduces you to the dynamic and inspiring individuals who call the Pacific Northwest home. From local business owners and entrepreneurs to authors, artists, and unique characters, our guests embody the hard-working, blue-collar spirit that Grit City is known for. And let's not forget the occasional drug-fueled weirdo we may have met at a comedy club the night before!
The Grit City Podcast first launched back in the summer of 2014 and quickly built a loyal fanbase of listeners who appreciated the show's unique perspective on the Seattle/Tacoma area. After a brief hiatus in 2017, the podcast was rebooted in 2018, with even more friends and family members involved. It quickly regained its "must listen to" status and went on to deliver an impressive 275 episodes and counting, delivering over 280 hours of audio content to our fans since. With no signs of slowing down soon!
Our mission at The Grit City Podcast is simple: to bring the hard-working spirit of the Pacific Northwest to the world and have a good time doing it! We aim to create a community of listeners who understand and appreciate the concept of "grit". With a focus on local business owners, entrepreneurs, and unique characters, sprinkled with a good dose of humor, The Grit City Podcast is a one-of-a-kind audio experience that you won't want to miss.
So, if you're looking for a weekly dose of inspiration, laughter, and a celebration of the human spirit, look no further than The Grit City Podcast! Subscribe now and join us for the ride!

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week the GCP crew is joined by friend of the show, Ken Carlson. Ken is a PNW writer, director, and producer that likes “telling stories and hopes to one day create some that won’t bore you to death”. He has written and directed Dead Drift, Penny Palabras, and his latest comedy show, Roscoe the Junkyard Cat.  Roscoe is now available on Amazon for your viewing pleasure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;02:58 – The crew shares what they’ve been drinking, Brogan promotes Cider &amp;amp; Cedar in Tacoma, and Scott gives props to 1111.  Justin talks about their new Discord channel for listeners to give shout outs to places they want to promote, welcomes Ken to the show, and Justin gives an update on why Clownvis didn’t join them last week.  They discuss what they’ve been watching on various channels, Jeff poses the first GCP question to Ken, and Ken discusses where he finds inspiration for writing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;16:30 – Jeff and Ken talk on the importance of a good ending to a script, they talk on anthology series movies, and they pose their first coaster question to Ken.  Ken speaks on being pretty easy going when producing, his love of having a collaborative relationship with the actors he works with, and Justin talks on his love of the show Dead Drift.  Ken talks about the challenges of getting people to watch his show with so many other options out there, Justin expresses his mixed feelings with getting honest reports of listeners, and they chat about the latest news on Tacoma Reddit with the American Tavern.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;34:06 – Brogan gives an update on the bottle shop, Justin shares his most recent Tacoma crack head experience, and Scott talks on his search of open bars since the recent shut down of inside eating in Washington.  They talk on other ways restaurants have innovated to stay open during this time, Scott gives props to Olivers in Edgewood, and Brogan reminds listeners that there are still some Cosmic Bottles Founders Mugs left.  Ken shares his thoughts on if there is going to be future demands for Covid tied movies and the changes that have happened with movie production this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;47:28 – Brogan unmutes the listeners, Ken talks on trends of movies that come up after cultural events, and his favorite movies from the 80’s.  They talk about the chilling reality behind scenes in movies that reflect true happenings in life, actor Christopher Lee’s metal album, and give a shout out to actor Sean Connery.  Scott gives his review of the movie Prospect, Ken shares his thoughts of the show Raised by Wolves, and they discuss what they want to watch for the next movie review podcast.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks Ken for catching up with the guys!!! Special Guest: Ken Carlson.&lt;/p&gt;
