PEOPLE TO WATCH 2021
Seltzer Time
You are probably already familiar with Ricky Nelson and Travis Duda. Maybe Ricky served you a beer at the area-favorite (but sadly, now defunct) Dive Bar. Maybe you met Travis while marveling at some of the incredible public art you’ve seen around the city. When Travis isn’t “popping seltzer cans,” he spends his time with Hunchback Graphics + Design, his company. Both have their hands in all things Worcester, but there’s an even better chance you know the pair from their breakout podcast, Seltzer Time. Sure, it started humbly, but these days it’s hugely popular with guests from Worcester standouts to artists, to new restaurateurs, to musicians and those involved in local outreach. It’s got a little bit of everything, but the pair manage to keep it tight and entertaining and look to continue into the future.
