Today we’d like to introduce you to Christian Senger.
Hi Christian, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Connecticut and always loved news and media. I pursued those passions at the University of Connecticut and then temped at ESPN for about a year. After visiting some friends that had moved to Charleston after college, I fell in love with the city and decided to move here in 2007.
Charleston was vastly different than my home town and I loved exploring, learning, and discovering everything the city had to offer. After a few years, I realized there was so much going on in Charleston, that it was basically impossible for anyone media entity to cover it all.
So, in 2011, I decided to start a blog detailing some of my favorite things to do in the city. It pretty quickly morphed into a website that serves as a hub for Charleston’s day-to-day happenings, and less about my own personal experiences. The site has continued to grow and just celebrated its 10th Anniversary.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
For the most part, it has been a pretty smooth road. I’ve had some minor hiccups along the way, but nothing very dramatic. The community has been very receptive and understanding when it comes to errors, website bugs, etc.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Holy City Sinner celebrates the many sides of the historic and lively city of Charleston. From local news aggregation, helpful resources, politics, interviews to event listings, celebrity sightings, and party previews, the blog serves as a hub for the city’s day-to-day happenings.
As evidence of the blog’s reliability and popularity, I have been featured in USA Today, Southern Living, the Post & Courier, Skirt! Magazine, ABC News 4, Fox 24, Kickin 92.5, BBC, BBC Radio, Lowcountry Live, 105.5 The Bridge, Quintin’s Close-Ups, and Mix 95.9.
In February 0f 2021, I launched the website’s companion podcast, Holy City Sinner Radio, which has already featured an impressive lineup of guests including Charleston Mayor, John Tecklenburg. I’m most proud of the fact that for the last eight years, the residents of the city have voted (via the Charleston City Paper’s “Best of” Awards) the HCS website and its Twitter feed as the best in Charleston.
In 2016, I was named one of Charleston’s “Best & Brightest,” by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of South Carolina. The program honors the “Lowcountry’s finest young professionals who exemplify strong leadership qualities, are active in their community, and have excelled in their chosen professions.”
