    <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>The guys wish everyone a Happy 4th, talk about the new Disney Star Wars Universe, Star Wars Galaxy Quest, the recent concert Scott went to, types of music they love to see live, Crypticon and other conventions, being country mice in the city, proving TikTok wrong, and earthquakes.
01:41 - Jeff reflects on his and Scott's polyamorous relationship not involving Jesus, polyamorous relationships on TLC, and the aftermath of Sister Wives.  Scott talks about the TikTok Mormon wives, they talk about who they are for in the Star Wars Universe, and Jeff talks about being walked into the next generation of Star Wars.   
20:38 – Jeff talks about gaming pieces he’d like to have to enhance the game, Scott talks about how new video games remind him of movies, and the studios of people who put the games together.  Scott gives a shout-out to the Kikey’s Mexican food restaurant, going to the recent Obituary concert, and the bands that were on stage before the main band.  
38:07 – Scott gives appreciation for the drummer of the Nails band, the pit being out of hand, and Jeff talks about people in the pit taking care of each other.  They each give their opinion on the band Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Scott talks about seeing the band Ale Storm, and Jeff talks about the cast at the recent Crypticon convention.
58:34 – Scott talks about going to the Horror Convention in Puyallup, meeting Lou Diamond Phillips, and Jeff dives into the history of the meaning of the word pussy.  He shares what AI says the term is used for, other meanings of the word, and Scott closes out the show talking about the biggest earthquake in Washington's history.

    <![CDATA[<p>Will Sowder from Saint Hussy rejoins GCP to talk about Grit City Radio and what he&#39;s been doing since he joined them on episode 183.  Saint Hussy is a local Tacoma band that has been playing across the PNW for over 30 years.  The band blends Post-Punk, New Wave, and Glam to create something new…yet familiar.  Grit City Radio broadcasts independent music from Seattle and Tacoma.  In addition to working to support independent music in the area, they also support up-and-coming PNW artists by providing scholarships to youth looking to attend events like School of Rock in Seattle.     </p>

<p>02:23 – Will talks about what he&#39;s been up to, explains the type of band Saint Hussy is, and his latest record hit.  Brogan talks about the beer he brought to share with the guys, the aluminum shortage, and Jeff share&#39;s what his week has been like.  He talks about his car problems, the conversation he had with the salesperson he bought the car from, and Justin talks about his recent interaction with AAA.  </p>

<p>15:00 – Will shares what he&#39;s been up to with Grit City Radio, how they&#39;ve been helping bands in Tacoma, and the type of response he&#39;s seen as a result.  He talks about promoting on Reddit, how people can get their band on the calendar, and the music scene in Tacoma.  He encourages people that want to know what&#39;s going on in the area to check out the calendar, how they advertise to places in the area, and suggest listeners encourage other venues to play local bands. </p>

<p>28:13 – Will talks about talking working to put together a weekend festival in Tacoma, Justin talks about the shows that used to be at the Stonegate Bar, and the great venues Chilkoot Charlie&#39;s in Ankeridge put together.  They talk about the fantastic view at the Union Club, Justin talks about the history behind the building, and the remodeling they&#39;ve been doing there.  They discuss if we&#39;re in the best or worst timeline, Jeff shares his idea of marketing local punk bands in Yakima back in the day, and Scott talks about buying CD&#39;s from artists off the street. </p>

<p>41:32 – Jeff reads off coaster questions, Will talks about how a local band can advertise, and explains that Spotify Numbers count.  He talks about Saint Hussy Scholarship Volume Two, the winner of the Volume One scholarship, and the importance of supporting new talent.  Justin talks about the ease of going to one place to find out what&#39;s going on in the area, Brogan talks about what he&#39;s been doing at Cosmic Bottles, and plans for a BBQ festival this summer. </p>

  <description>This time the GCP guys sat down for a fun conversation with Jason and Tim, members of the PNW band ANTIHERO.  I has been together for 5 years, though Jason and Tim have been playing for years together.  You can find more information about the band on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
00:30 – Jason talks about the first time he threw his drum sticks out to the crowd, Justin welcomes Robo Brogan, and reflects on the last time he saw ANTIHERO live.  The guys talk about how they’ve been doing, changes that have been going on lately with the band, and the interesting experience they had playing at The Stone Gate.  They share what the purpose of a drum shield is, how long ANTOHERO has been around, and Jason talks about when they first started playing together. 
18:04 – They talk about joining Dollar Store Cowboys, shifting to the Atomic Outlaws Band, and only playing with people they know.  They talk about lighting things on fire when they play, how Tacoma ports are one of the top 10 cleanest ports in America, and Scott shares his love of conspiracy theories.  Justin talks about talking Flat Earth with Mark Sargent, all share their love of Art Bell, and Justin gives props to the food at The Church Cantina in Tacoma.
33:17 – Justin jumps into Is It Tacoma, they discuss where Lynyrd Skynyrd memorabilia would be found in the PNW, and what drugs are most popular in places between Tacoma and Gig Harbor.  Justin reveals what story was from Tacoma, they discuss if it was an inside job, and Tim talks about the roadies the band has had in the past.  They talk about having $40,000 work of instruments stolen by someone busting through the side of the house, how they ended up getting some of it back, and Jason talks about buying an RV.
55:28 – Justin thanks the guys for sitting down for a conversation, Scott encourages them to let their kids join the band, and Tim talks about the band he started during Covid.  Justin talks about when he moved to Arizona, why he came back to Seattle, and encourages the guys to float.  They discuss how the food in Portland gets extra stars because of where it’s served at, starting the glam band Beauty School Drop Outs back in the day, and Jeff talks about getting his first Judas Priest album.
Thanks Jason and Tim for joining the guys for an awesome conversation! Special Guest: Antihero.

  <description>On this episode, after a short intro, the guys replay a "Best Of" that was recorded with Sami Chohfi from Blue Helix.  Blue Helix is a local alternative rock band that Sami formed in 2008.  Their latest record, “A Tale of Two Halves” was released in 2014.  The band does an amazing job playing live, something that they strive for.  Sami said it all when he said: “If you can’t do it live don’t do it on the record.”  They are the winners of the 2015 Puget Sound Battle of the Bands.
The guys kicks off with conversation on the GCP’s 4 year anniversary and Justin’s new house in Tacoma.  Justin chats about his neighbors and they play a voicemail Brogan left Justin while he was at the Solstice Fremont Street Festival.  Jeff talks about seeing Girl Trouble in concert and they give an update on Blue Helix who is performing on July 20th at the Chris Cornell Tribute at The Crocodile where portions of the proceeds go to the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation.
17:00 – Brogan introduces how he was introduced to Blue Helix.  Sami explains how the band came together in 2008, building a recording studio, how he learned about recording with other engineers, and putting out his first record.  He talks about playing full time, being a music teacher, in addition to how he taught himself to play the guitar and writing his own music. 
25:15 – Sami discusses what his back up quest would be if he didn’t play music, which is playing in the NFL.  He then talks about the other two members of the band, the move from a four person band to a three piece band, incorporating backing tracks, and future plans as the band continues to grow.
36:36 – The guys ask Sami’s opinion on a venues responsibility and an artist’s responsibility for promotion of the event.  Sami explains that unlike most bands, they themselves promote their band via social media, where most bands are burnt out on self-promotion and they do expect the venues to do most of it.
50:27 – Discussion of the two years it took to make the “Aliens” video and what they went through for the planning and permits that were needed to make it happen.  He explains working with Touch or Not Productions to turn his vision into a reality.  Sami then talks about the trip with his wife to Africa, the video he recorded there, and what local tribe members have to do before getting married.
This episode comes to and end with them chatting about where people can find the band online, the importance of making a video with metaphors in it, their show on October 22nd, 2016, and the significance of getting feedback from their fans.
Thank Sami for joining the guys on this episode and you’re insightful look into the life of a musician. Special Guest: Sami Chohfi.
