Origin Story

We know what you’re thinking: New phone, who dis?

Well, we’re a brand-spankin’ new site, and we’ll tell you who dis.

We’re a bunch of former college newspaper employees who got into the real world and discovered just how good we had it. We missed writing local features on cool new businesses in the community. We missed the god-awful jokes we’d all crack while lack of sleep was taking over any sort of remaining brain cells we had during deadline nights. We missed chatting with all the hardworking people who had a unique, vibrant idea for a city that’s sometimes described as lackluster. We just plain missed having a voice, and sharing other people’s stories.

So here it is. The Palm Reader. We’re proud to be a vessel in Lansing’s storyline.
