    Feed Drop: No Promposal, No Problem: Aidan Taylor On Dating Late & Owning It
    Jun 11 2025
    Is it ever too late to start dating? On this week’s episode of Love-ly, Mehak sits down with Aidan Taylor—host of Banterly—to unpack what it really means to be a “late bloomer” in the chaotic world of modern dating. From his first real date at 21 to navigating New York City’s intense queer dating scene, Aidan gets candid about identity, rejection, and learning to love yourself before anyone else does. They talk about first dates, ghosting, gay bar drama (yes, including a bathroom incident), dating as a person of color in a hyper-curated app world, and what it's like to feel "behind" when everyone around you is getting engaged. It's funny, heartfelt, and full of the kind of real talk we all need more of. If you're queer, single in your 20s, or just tired of dating timelines, this one's for you.

  • You Love WHO from Four Seasons?

    You Love WHO from Four Seasons?
    Jun 4 2025
    What makes a friendship last a lifetime? This week, Aidan and Maya open up about how their relationships have changed over the years and what it really means to grow with your friends. They dive into Netflix’s Four Seasons, a comedy-drama that follows three couples through love, loss, and everything in between. Emotions run high (and opinions clash) as they debate the show’s most lovable—and most loathable—characters. It’s heartfelt, it’s heated, and it’s classic Banterly. __ Hosted by: Maya Shetty & Aidan Taylor Producer: Shei Yu | Content Writers: Maya Shetty & Aidan Taylor I Editorial Review: Saadia Khan I Sound Designer & Editor: Lou Raskin I Immigrantly Theme Music: Simon Hutchinson | Other Music: Epidemic Sound | Cover art design: Josephine Chai | Executive Producer: Saadia Khan Please share the love and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify to help more people find us!

  • Social Anxiety, Simulations, and a Whole Lot of Cringe

    Social Anxiety, Simulations, and a Whole Lot of Cringe
    May 21 2025
    In this episode of Banterly, host Aidan sits down with journalist Rosie Carroll to unpack the mind-bending second season of Nathan Fielder’s HBO series The Rehearsal. They dive into the show’s surreal blend of reality and simulation, dissecting how Fielder pushes the boundaries of comedy to examine human connection, performance, and control. From the ethical tightrope of the “Wings of Voice” episode to the internet fallout of the Lana Love controversy, Aidan and Rosie offer a deep analysis of the show’s most talked-about moments (can we please talk about Nathan Fielder as Baby Sully?). Along the way, they reflect on their own experiences with social anxiety and whether life would be easier if we could rehearse it all in advance. __ Hosted by: Rosie Carroll & Aidan Taylor Producer: Shei Yu | Content Writers: Rosie Carroll & Aidan Taylor I Editorial Review: Saadia Khan I Sound Designer & Editor: Lou Raskin I Immigrantly Theme Music: Simon Hutchinson | Other Music: Epidemic Sound | Cover art design: Josephine Chai | Executive Producer: Saadia Khan Please share the love and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify to help more people find us!
