A refreshing new voice is echoing through social media as the latest podcast, “Hot Tea, No Sugar,” by Bridgeport residents, garners over 1 million views. Launched in September from the creative hub at Rig Studio, hosts Kelsey Cromar, Samantha Holcomb, and Taylor Baugh-McIntire are capturing hearts with their unique blend of humor and insight.
A Creative Escape from the Mundane
Initially conceived over lunch, the trio, all Realtors with RE/MAX Broadwater, vowed to stay clear of real estate topics and instead explore broader horizons. This creative outlet has transformed into a dynamic show, full of real, raw, and honest conversations. “Our diverse personalities take our show to new heights, connecting with people across diverse backgrounds,” says Holcomb.
Bridging Communities with Authentic Conversations
The hosts believe their candid discussions not only entertain but also offer a glimpse of solace in life’s chaos. With a touch of humor, they tackle serious subjects, including domestic violence, aspiring to shine a light in the darkness. “Even the smallest ray of hope can brighten someone’s day,” Holcomb notes about their mission.
Flying Off the Shelves with Diverse Topics
Cromar echoes this sentiment by emphasizing the wide spectrum of topics, ranging from trending issues to obscure interests such as true crime and celebrity guests. “No topic is off-limits,” Cromar declares, signaling their dedication to versatile content that both informs and entertains.
A Community Anchor
Baugh-McIntire underscores their desire to reciprocate the community’s support by actively participating in impactful dialogs. “We’re here to uplift and play our part within the community,” she shares, highlighting their altruistic angle.
