Ben Marks, the general manager of Collectors Weekly, brings his colorful backstory to the GrottoPod on this week’s episode. Join us as we trace his wanderings from a childhood in San Rafael to a career that has included working on a lobster boat in Maine, co-owning a restaurant in Seattle, making it as a writer in Los Angeles, landing a cushy job at Sunset magazine, and finally coming to the Grotto, where he and two colleagues produce an online magazine dedicated to deep dives into backstories as colorful as his own.
