00 What Is Wrong with Convention Center Coffee?

In this episode of Event About It, host Megan Martin sits down with Rachel Kopczyk—aka "Lady on TV"—to dive into her journey from broadcast journalism to live event hosting and podcast production.

Rachel shares how her reporting background helped her transition into the event space and become the production mastermind behind Event About It.

Through five engaging segments, including the fan-favorite Would You Rather?, the shoutout-packed Hats Off, and the always-relatable Vent of the Week, Rachel opens up about the highs and lows of working events.

Rachel and Megan share their own frustrations, including the infamous struggle with convention center coffee and Rachel’s personal nightmare: an event that was interrupted by... mice scurrying across the venue floor.

Plus, she spills the tea on her most memorable event moments in the Event About It segment.

  • Rachel’s journey from local news to event hosting and podcast production.
  • Why storytelling and audience engagement are essential for live events.
