In 2025, Grant Lawrence wrote, edited and hosted a gripping new series called Whale Tale: the true story of the capture, escape and legacy of some of the West Coast’s most remarkable orcas. In a string of fascinating interviews with those who were there, along with several current day orca experts, Grant Lawrence uncovers the often dirty details of a decades-long saga and mystery that involves the capture of Chimo, the ultra-rare white whale, and her family of mammal-eating transient killer whales – but no one knew what they ate at the time. Listen to all ten exciting chapters here.

In 2017, Grant Lawrence published his award-winning third memoir entitled “Dirty Windshields: the best and the worst of the Smugglers tour diaries”, which renowned New York City rock critic Ira Robbins hailed as “the perfect companion to the band’s mega-fun music.” Grant is reading aloud each outrageous chapter in audiobook form – with plenty of musical flourishes – to verbally recount the many years of shame and glory spent on the road with the Smugglers. Chapters are released each week. Warning: “mature” content. You can listen and download chapters for free here.
