    <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.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeff, Scott, and Mike ring in the "heatwave" with the latest episode of Hangover Sunday. The guys dive into the evolution of The Scrapyard with Tacompton Files, the ethics of cleaning local skate parks, and the new GCP Hotline—including C-Note’s legendary Rambo knife birthday story. Things get mystical as Jeff uses a specialized Norse tarot deck from Iceland to read C-Note’s future (spoiler: Odin is involved). From Nigerian "Social Catfish" scams to the horrors of the Bellevue commute and the mystery of the "Bacon Vault" at Salish Lodge, this episode covers the gritty reality of life, work, and the impending robot revolution.&lt;/p&gt;
