Dear Media brought its podcast community to the Hamptons this summer, transforming LDV at The Maidstone in East Hampton into an intimate pop-up recording studio from August 10th through August 13th. The week-long activation offered Dear Media talent and guests a unique setting to record out East while bringing some of the network’s most recognizable voices together under one roof.


Throughout the week, the studio welcomed recordings from a lineup of popular Dear Media shows, including Transform, hosted by Sami Clarke and Sami Spalter; Come Together with Erin and Abe Lichy; The Real Stuff with Lucie Fink; All on the Table with Katie Lee Biegel; The Bossticks, hosted by Lauryn and Michael Bosstick; and Gals on the Go, hosted by Brooke Miccio and Danielle Carolan.


The week culminated in a cocktail party at LDV at The Maidstone, hosted by Dear Media’s Lauryn and Michael Bosstick and Mark Mullett. Guests enjoyed passed bites throughout the evening, including mini lobster rolls, burrata crostini with truffle honey, Maine shrimp cocktail, and potato croquettes topped with caviar, creating a distinctly Hamptons menu for the occasion.

The celebration brought together an impressive roster of Dear Media talent, friends, and members of the East End community, including Bobbi Brown, Cynthia Rowley, Luann de Lesseps, Katie Lee Biegel, Beth Stern, Elizabeth Saltzman, Ramy Brook Sharp, Jackie Oshry, Ben Soffer, Josh and Shannon Hart, Samara and Matt Hillman, Erin Lichy, Brooke Miccio, Danielle Carolan, and Harvey Spevak, alongside hosts Lauryn and Michael Bosstick.

More than a summer gathering, the evening served as a fitting finale to Dear Media’s week in East Hampton—bringing together the network’s talent and community for cocktails, conversation, and a celebration of the creative energy that defines the season out East.
