EPISODE 50: ALICE GRANDOIT- ŠUTKA, CREATIVE RESEARCHER & PUBLISHER

Episode 50 ‼️ We’re celebrating this milestone with someone very special, and fitting for the occasion—Alice Grandoit-Šutka. Anyone who has been following this podcast for a while now is likely familiar with the magazine—also called Top Rank—from which it came. Alice was the co-founder and creator of that publication, made in Brooklyn, which highlighted women who were leading groundbreaking and culture-shifting practices at the time. Though the two of us knew each other prior to the genesis of Top Rank Magazine, it was the first thing we ever worked on together, and it is the reason for everything we’ve created together since. This episode presents a truly full circle moment, as we welcome Alice herself back to the show that was born of her brainchild.  In addition to a friend, and an impactful and generative force in our lives, Alice is a research-based designer, host, and publisher. Over the past 15 years, she has developed an expansive practice that is equal parts experimental, referential, and relational, and exists at the intersections of the arts, community engagement, and food. For episode 50, we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on how Alice’s creative universe took shape, and continues to evolve.
