When it comes to celebrity culture, Dear Media has found the perfect formula: mix star-powered hosts, authentic conversations and a platform built for today’s digital world. Founder Michael Bosstick has built a podcast network that has become the ultimate hangout for Hollywood stars, reality TV favorites, and influencers who want to share their unfiltered lives with the world.
“Our shows have the energy of a talk show, with the vibe of your favorite group chat,” said Michael.
What began as a lifestyle blog in 2011 has grown into a pop culture empire. Lauryn Bosstick launched The Skinny Confidential blog in 2011, which led to the launch of “TSC Him & Her Show” with Michael. The podcast shares unfiltered conversations and real takeaways, consistently sitting at #1 in Apple’s Education vertical, with celebrity guests like Kourtney Kardashian, Gwen Stefani, Cindy Crawford, Bethenny Frankel and Lisa Rinna.
The success of their podcast led to the launch of Dear Media. In addition to the “Him & Her Show,” the network hosts 100 podcasts fronted by celebrities and influencers like Khloé Kardashian, Whitney Port, Kristin Cavallari, Scheana Shay and Amanda Hirsch. It focuses on building genuine connections between hosts and audiences, diving deep into hosts’ worlds while sprinkling in the pop culture moments fans can’t get enough of.
“Celebrities are drawn to podcasting because it allows them to share their story in their own voice and to build a direct, genuine connection with the audience,” said Michael. “It creates an environment where the audience feels like they’re in on the conversation – not just watching from the sidelines.”
From jaw-dropping confessions to viral soundbites that set TikTok on fire, Dear Media turns everyday chatter into headline-making moments. The network thrives on giving listeners more of what they love, while making it feel personal. They get more than a headline from their shows – they get the real story behind it that listeners are dying to hear.
As for what’s next?
“I think we’re going to see the biggest names in entertainment continue to launch shows,” said Michael. “Podcasts are the new talk shows – but they’re also the launchpad for everything else they’re working on.”
