Bridget Jones: The Original Brat?
This week, we’re not just doubling the hosting power—we’re tripling it! Sofia joins Maya and Aidan for a special Valentine’s Day-themed episode. As longtime friends, they chat about their plans for the holiday, their thoughts on Chappell Roan’s unforgettable Grammy speech, and their favorite ways to chronicle their lives. Do you diary? Journal? Or are you more of an “Insta Stories as a diary” person like Aidan? We’re also rewinding the clock and diving into the Bridget Jones trilogy just in time for the fourth film’s release on Valentine’s Day. The trio debates the ultimate leading man (Darcy vs. Cleaver....vs. Qwant???) and explores how Bridget Jones is the blueprint for brat energy—and how, deep down, we’re all a little bit Bridget. _ Hosted by: Maya Shetty, Sofia Di Lodovico, & Aidan Taylor Producer: Shei Yu | Content Writers: Maya Shetty, Sofia Di Lodovico, & 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!  If you want to share your thoughts about this or other episodes, reach out at banterly@immigrantlypod.com Banterly is an Immigrantly Media Production.

So... What Happened to the YouTubers We Grew Up With?

So... What Happened to the YouTubers We Grew Up With?
Start earning points on rent you’re already paying by going to joinbilt.com/BANTERLY __ In the age of TikTok and Reels, YouTube feels like the quirky older sibling that introduced us to the internet. For Gen Z, it was a cornerstone of our childhood—whether we were binge-watching makeup tutorials, gaming streams, or viral moments like Leave Britney Alone and Baby Shark. It’s where we played music videos on repeat and looked up lyrics to our favorite songs. In this episode, Maya and Aidan take a nostalgic dive into YouTube’s golden era, reminiscing about the days when they’d rush home from school, sit in front of their computers, and queue up their favorite creators. We discuss the rise and fall of Colleen Ballinger, why Trisha Paytas seems impossible to cancel, and the era of long-form content—think two-hour vlogs, GRWMs, and iconic crying on the kitchen floor moments. This is a good one—buckle up. __ 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!  If you want to share your thoughts about this or other episodes, reach out at banterly@immigrantlypod.com Banterly is an Immigrantly Media Production.
