Comment: The presence of a personal life is confusing. Is the article about the show or the host? Needs rewriting per Wikipedia standards. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
The Colt Balok Show is an international talk show that aired its first episode on May 8, 2018 in Albuquerque, NM. Produced and hosted by Colt Balok, it currently has 1.3 million followers.[1] Colt has described the show as, at its core, "based on love and human connection."[2]
The show later aired briefly on KRQE's NMLiving channel,[3] and in 2022 it reached its first million followers, bringing in a worldwide audience.[4]
