About us and the show

Hi!

We’re two best friends, Liz & Olu, who decided to start a podcast despite our sneaking suspicion that the world could do with fewer podcasts. We started our podcast, Liberal Banter, because we wanted to talk about issues we feel strongly about as women, 1st-Gen Americans, dog moms, professionals, etc etc. We thought this already crowded space could use our voices and if you’re a regular listener then we’re glad you agree!

Liberal Banter was named because we’re two liberals who banter. We decided to keep the name simple and to the point. “Liberal” because that’s what we are, liberals. “Banter” means “to talk in a friendly way”. It’s a word that’s more frequently used in the UK where we both spent a lot of time growing up.

We publish new episodes weekly, generally speaking, and you can listen on Apple, Spotify, Amazon or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also connect with us on Threads or TikTok.

Thanks for listening!
