Dear Media Turned Webster Hall Into The Internet's Best GNO Ever

"“We launched By Night as a 'girls' night out' iteration that's part cocktail hour, part pop culture, and a little bit of comedy,” Bosstick says. “A Dear Media By Day is next, which will be more health, wellness, and career-focused.”"

"“There's nothing like hearing the audience react in real time,” Hirsch says of the event. “And obviously having Amy Schumer come out [as a surprise guest] took it to another level and made the whole night feel pretty iconic.”"

"On Saturday, May 16, members of the network's cult following hung up their headphones to meet IRL at Webster Hall in New York for the event. Upon entering Webster Hall's dark foyer, a neon-lit bar and hot pink photo booth paved the way for guests to take their seats for the show, where Taylor Strecker, host of the podcast Taste of Taylor, introduced live episodes with fan-favorite Dear Media creators."

"What started as a podcast passion project in 2016 has transformed into the largest female-focused podcast network to date. Founded by Michael Bosstick in 2018 alongside his wife, Lauryn, who's also his co-host and founder of The Skinny Confidential - a blog turned product line. The two have driven their show, The Bossticks, to #1 in education on Apple podcasts, and highlight up-and-coming voices in the space."
