FLINT, Michigan — Kristen Reynolds grew up hearing her father recall stories about how, since she learned to talk, she had a mouthful to say. She calls herself a “natural-born yapper” and jokes that her parents aren’t surprised she is now an award-winning podcaster. Her podcast, A Little Bit A Lot, won three categories, including Best Solo Host and Podcaster of the Year, in the 2026 Black Podcasting Awards. She was also named a 2026 Signal Awards finalist in the Solopreneur Podcast category. Reynolds combines stories of her personal upbringing with pop culture, mental health, adulting, and humor to create an inclusive virtual community that emphasizes relatability and safe spaces. Behind the microphone, she stays true to herself. Moving from Flint to Flushing as a child after her parents divorced made her feel even more quirky and different from her peers. She grew up searching for a group where she felt seen.
