About This Podcast

We here at Greatest City Collective want to give artists of all kinds a platform to discuss themselves, their work, and whatever else they want! The interviews are relaxed, candid, and intimate - almost like catching up with a friend on a bus ride to some new destination. Join GCC co-founder and Bus Ride Talks host, Divinia Shorter, as she lets listeners join the conversation and meet some of the most interesting artists they haven't seen yet.
