Dear Media IRL

A live extension of the conversations shaping our community.

DEAR MEDIA IRL IS WHERE THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES

Dear Media IRL brings our world offline into thoughtfully designed spaces where you can connect with hosts, experience new perspectives, and engage in meaningful conversations where communication thrives: face-to-face.

IRL events reflect the range of our shows: wellness, ambition, relationships, culture, career, creativity. Some are intimate. Some are high-energy. All are rooted in perspective and shaped by the community in the room.

We don’t replicate episodes live, we expand them. Through dialogue, shared experiences, and real-time exchange, the conversation continues beyond the mic.

It’s part therapy, part slumber party, all chaos. Bring your bestie + your hot takes—it’s going to be an unhinged and unforgettable night.
