Ground & Common
A pig pile is a terrible place to get any real thinking done—unless you learn to embrace the noise. Ground & Common is a podcast about navigating the messy, complicated middle ground of culture, creativity, and everyday life. Through audio essays, stories, and unscripted thoughts, host Nathan Tower explores the threads that connect us—socially, creatively, and personally. Sometimes searching, sometimes sharp, always honest. All content is written and read by Nathan Tower unless noted otherwise.
