In this episode, Hanna Lee and Michael Anstendig of Hanna Lee Communications chat with Kirk Miller, Managing Editor of InsideHook, where he writes about booze, culture, tech and travel.
Kirk is a veteran writer and editor in New York with over 25 years of experience. His work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Time Out New York and other top media outlets.
Tune in to hear this passionate, curious and thoughtful journalist share his thoughts on:
1. How InsideHook’s popularity grew five-fold during the pandemic, with hospitality industry coverage expanding.
2. Why he welcomes story pitches from voices he has not heard before, both national and international, who are doing unusual or unexpected things.
3. Why he thinks drinking will become “healthier” once bars fully reopen and people will indulge in social settings.
4. Why he hopes the hospitality industry’s embrace of tech innovations during the pandemic, like contactless payments and QR codes, will continue.
5. Why he praises the work of the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild during the pandemic, especially for destigmatizing mental health issues.
