It was great to finally chat with Jesse, though, as he wa...

In this episode, I sit down with the hilarious Jessica Grant, comedian born and raised in Humboldt County. We chat about the lack of joy of hecklers, her entry as a business owner with a green thumb, and how darn challenging the last few years have been - she's been through a lot!
