Hailing from northwest indiana, this podcast is garbage is hosted by local garbage truck driver andrew reed and produced by ryan dexter. NWI, or colloquially known as "the region," is a collection of cities and towns just southeast of chicago. Often overlooked, the region is defined by it's steel mill and sand dune skyline and neighborhoods both flourishing and forgotten. While many might view northwest indiana as the midwest's garbage dump, there are people from all points of the region that are involved in interesting aspects of the arts, business, and politics...hidden gems in the trash heap. It is the goal of this podcast is garbage to bring listeners the stories of these people. For the Region. By the Region.
