The Boomerang Effect: Coming Back to Grand Rapids

Grand Yappin': We're Yappin’ Through the Conspiracy Theories

This week on Grand Yappin, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of conspiracy theories — and honestly? Some of them are completely unhinged… while others feel just believable enough to make you spiral at 2am. From Britney Spears theories to Michigan’s legendary Dogman, we cover a huge range of conspiracies, including a few with a distinctly Grand Rapids twist. Margaret also shares an update on her ongoing ketamine therapy journey, opening up about where she’s at mentally and how things have been progressing since starting treatment. And because this is Grand Yappin, the episode naturally derails into conversations about vacuums, questionable business ideas, hair tools, and whatever else our brains decide to latch onto along the way. So grab your tin foil hat and come yap with us.

Aundria Bowman: A West Michigan Mystery Finally Solved

In this episode of Grand Convos, we take a closer look at the heartbreaking case of Aundria Bowman — the Hamilton, Michigan teen whose disappearance remained a mystery for decades before the shocking truth finally came to light. What began as a missing persons case ultimately revealed a horrifying reality: the person responsible was her adoptive father, Dennis Bowman. We recount the devastating details of the crime, the years of unanswered questions, and the extraordinary chain of events that eventually led investigators to uncover the truth and bring justice to Aundria’s case. The story later became the focus of the Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter documentary, but for many in Michigan, this case has always felt painfully close to home. This episode contains discussions of violence, abuse, and murder that may be difficult for some listeners.

Grand Yappin: Ketamine, Courage & Getting Real

This week on Grand Yappin, Margaret opens up about one of the most personal experiences she’s ever shared publicly — her first ketamine infusion therapy session. From the initial conversations with her doctor to making the decision to pursue treatment, she walks us through what led her here and why ketamine therapy is becoming a real option for people struggling with mental health. We also break down the “Readers Digest version” of the science behind ketamine therapy, why researchers believe it can work differently than traditional antidepressants, and how it may help create new pathways in the brain. Then Margaret gets completely honest about the actual infusion experience: the nerves beforehand, what she felt during treatment, the emotional and physical effects afterward, and the thoughts that stayed with her once it was over. It’s vulnerable, informative, emotional, occasionally funny, and probably one of the rawest conversations we’ve had on the show yet.

Pinky Up! Ranking West Michigan’s Snobbiest Cities

Grab your champagne and designer sunglasses...we’re talking snobbery. After finding a list of Michigan’s 100 most "refined" cities, we were shocked to see how many West Michigan favorites were high on the list. From high-end zip codes to "exclusive" vibes, we’re asking the hard questions: Is your town snobby, or just misunderstood? Plus, we give you a sneak peek at what’s coming up next on Grand Convos.

Grand Yappin: Sunroofs, Cybertrucks & Social Crimes

In this episode of Grand Yappin’, we’ve got opinions… and unfortunately, the public keeps giving us reasons to use them. We kick things off with a truly unhinged drive line moment - because why is a child sticking out of a sunroof while the car is moving?? From there, we get into a passionate discussion about Tesla Cybertruck and why we simply cannot get on board. We also officially file a motion to replace the middle finger with a much more effective (and honestly more cutting) thumbs down because sometimes disappointment hits harder than anger. Then we get into the real debate: caravan etiquette. Are there rules? Do people follow them? And why is it always chaos? And finally… we’re trying to make a listener trip happen to see Kesha! Nothing says bonding like a little road trip and a lot of glitter. It’s petty, it’s chaotic, and it’s exactly what you signed up for. It’s Grand Yappin’ and we yap till we can’t.
