    <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!

12:13 – They ponder on celebrities they’d get a signature from, Scott talks about other stars that were at the convention, and Jeff talks about returning to work.  He encourages listeners to visit GCP at the Grit City Comic Show, their after-party at Camp Bar, and they kick off the second segment of The Cooper Vortex series. 
24:58 – Jeff introduces the segment expressing how much he loved this one, Ron talks about what flagged him in thinking Barb may have been different, and Pat talks about the weird feeling that came over her before she discovered Barb’s secret.  Ron and Pat share the various stories that Barb revealed to them and Pat talked about what flagged the idea that Barb may have been DB Cooper.
41:18 – Pat talks about when Barb revealed that she was DB Cooper, Scott talks about the epic computer crash on the last GCP episode, and Jeff talks about how he recovered while Scott was out.  They share where listeners can pick up a digital copy of the GCP coloring book, other places listeners can pick one up, and they close out reminding listeners to be kind to each other during this election time. Special Guest: Cooper Vortex.
