Best of Grand Rapids, Michigan



Grand Rapids, Michigan, is home to some pretty cool sh*t.
There’s a vibrant art and music scene. Local radio that doesn’t play the same 27 songs over and over. Lots of young, up-and-coming comedians. Places to eat, drink, smoke.
With my podcast, I talk to creative people of all types, from all backgrounds, and from all over the US. But I also zero in on my local creative community. As a writer (that’s my book over there, next to the podcast logo), I cherish my creative community that I’m building through the podcast, but I want to focus intently on the people around me who inspire me.
