About The Show
Jamie and Marissa first met when they attended the same high school and graduated in the same class. While the two were acquainted, they didn't have a single class together during their four-year tenure. Fate brought them together once again when they ended up working for the same company for several years. The two rekindled their acquaintanceship and quickly grew into close friends.
These two friends have been wanting to create a podcast for years, but never could decide what the topic should be. They both love reading and drinking tea, so they decided it would be fun to have conversations about both and broadcast them to the world. Ink Drinkers podcast is a literary tea party, where Jamie and Marissa discuss books they love and books they don't while drinking tea.
Our Hosts
Jamie Freeman
Jamie has a wide variety of interests and talents. While her degree and background are in film production, her day job is much different and varied.

She also has a small film production company through which she's produced an award-winning documentary, short films, and another podcast! She enjoys anything creative. Jamie discovered her love of reading at a very young age, but her interest grew when she discovered the Modern Mrs. Darcy blog and audiobooks.

Her professional background is in business marketing, association management, corporate event planning, and real estate development management.
