Grant Horne Sizzle 2026

My creative vibe, efficiently.

Flannery Fired Up: Be Like Mike (Madigan)

A proof of concept of content marketing using talent as a source instead of a presenter. A touch too smart for its own good. 2020.

Drama in Dolton

Compiling a year’s worth of reporting into a fluid half-hour. The definitive document of the early scandals.

Wearing the Badge

A “cops shooting the shit” concept develops into a deep discussion about crime, policing, and officer wellness. The show is hosted by Garry McCarthy, former Chicago PD Superintendent and NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations.


The series features interviews with law enforcement luminaries like Ed Davis, Steve MacCallister, and James Glasgow - and public safety thought leaders from the worlds of law enforcement, government, and advocacy.


Sixteen episodes have been produced since launch, with Season 2 currently broadcasting.


The live Town Hall special featured here is currently a work-in-progress. Do not judge on its aesthetics yet.

Ghost in the Cuisine

An encouragement to the newsroom to invest time and interest in long-form journalism with national reach.

Winner of the 2022 Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award for Newsgathering: Societal Concerns. My first Emmy for editorial work.

I produced, wrote, and designed. John Eung Soo Kim shot and edited. Narration provided by Leon “The Destined Legend” Rogers.

Raise Hell, Then Leave

I cornered a journalist to maximize a morning show visit for a high-interest story.

This product was produced in 48 hours. I read the entirety of Pratt’s book the night before the interview and delivered the edit two days later.

Paris on Politics

A nightly political talk show in prime time I developed with Paris Schutz. Retitled to “Chicago Report” to broaden advertiser support. I liked this one better.

This is a composite for our 2025 Emmy entry.

Tribune Tower 2.0

A rare look inside the weirdest building in Chicago’s skyline.

Lead feature in a magazine show pilot.

The Bar on the Block

It’s one of the last “side-street bars” in Chicago. A neighborhood watering hole that’s in the neighborhood.

Nominated for a 2022 Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award for Outstanding Newsgathering: Human Interest.

I produced, wrote, designed, and edited. John Eung Soo Kim shot.
