About This Podcast

Banterly is a fun, conversational-style podcast that dissects contemporary films and TV shows to explore the many exciting, thought-provoking….and sometimes problematic elements of pop culture that many of us binge on a daily basis. Featuring two Gen Z co-hosts, this podcast is not just reviewing your next movie or TV show recommendation. We’re diving into them, discussing their nuances, and grappling with the trends of present-day media—all through a comedic lens. Executive Producer & Editorial Review: Saadia Khan Producer: Shei Yu Hosts: Aditi Misra and Aidan Taylor Content Writers: Michaela Strauther, Aditi Misra, Aidan Taylor Sound Design & Content Editor: Steve Martin Theme Music: Simon Hutchinson Other Music: Epidemic Sound Cover Art Design: Josephine Chai Follow us on IG @Immigrantlypod Twitter @Immigrantly_pod TikTok @Immigrantlypodcast Subscribe to our Patreon For advertising inquiries, please email at [email protected]
