About Dinky Podcast

Erika and Kristen are long-time college best friends. Now in their late 30s, they started the podcast, Dinky, just as Roe V. Wade was overturned in 2022. The purpose of the podcast was originally to help Kristen navigate whether or not to have kids. In less than three years, they have amassed 100k+ followers across social media, generated more than 300k+ podcast downloads, sold out two international trips with 40 fans, and appeared in several major media publications and on public radio. 

Erika works as a social media manager. She is a comedian trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles and loves artisan cheeses, long naps, good books, and reality television. She is also a proud cat mom to her cat, Evie. She is based in Oregon with her husband.

Kristen has a degree in Television Production and Broadcast Journalism, a professional background in television and comedy, and she now works in the tech industry. She is a DINKWAD (Dual Income No Kids With a Dog), a certified sommelier, a German dual-citizen, and a member of the Producers Guild of America. She has lived in NYC, LA, and now resides with her husband in Oregon.
