Bedroom Creator's Podcast Earns National Award Nod

An influencer from Staffordshire, Tatty Lomas, has achieved a significant milestone with her podcast "Tea and Two Sugars" receiving a nomination for Podcast of the Year at the National Influencer Awards. Lomas initially gained popularity during the Covid lockdown by posting makeup tutorials and dramatic "story times" from her bedroom. Her online presence has since exploded, attracting nearly 1.5 million followers on TikTok and over 100,000 on Instagram.

Her nominated podcast focuses on "wild, juicy and downright barbaric" stories shared by her audience, primarily sourced from listeners and Reddit users. Lomas expressed her gratitude, highlighting the "beautiful community" she has cultivated, characterized by open and trusting conversations. She left her previous job to pursue content creation full-time, a decision that quickly proved fruitful as her following surged dramatically within days.

Managing her online career involves handling business tasks like taxes and invoices, alongside navigating the pressures of online life, including negative comments. Despite these challenges, her audience has a global reach, with messages received from as far away as Kenya, demonstrating the worldwide impact of her content created from her bedroom.
