Glad You’re Here
If you’ve ever been in the Green Room at a hole in the wall music venue, then you’ve heard the conversations that Grant Glad has with musicians every Wednesday on his podcast “Glad You’re Here”. Glad dives into the creative process with his guests, exploring the struggles and triumphs of taking the road less traveled and what it’s really like to be the only ones at Thanksgiving dinner who are still chasing a dream. Grant Glad is based in Duluth, MN and has interviewed guests such as Dan Murphy of Soul Asylum, Siri Undlin of Humbird and Ross Thorn (Winner of the Trampled by Turtles Palomino Grant in 2023).
