Meet the Host

Hey everyone! My name is Connor Gray and I'm the creator and host of The Gray Area. This podcast is a way for me to deep dive into the gray areas of pop culture and explore the way we interact with them on a daily basis. I'm a fan of just about everything so there sure won't be a shortage of discussion. I'll be joining some friends and fanatics to talk about different touch-points in culture through a weekly theme. I hope you get something out of this discussion and talk about your own hot takes at home.

Thanks for listening!! - Connor
