After years of grinding away, she’d finally been hired as the entertainment writer for Cosmopolitan magazine- a dream job- only to have her dreams come crashing down when Cosmo closed its doors. After a week of feeling sorry for herself, Caryn got to work. A year later, she’s got bylines with most of SA’s top entertainment publications and her podcast ‘What’s IGN Crushing On’ has just celebrated its first birthday.
