The Parlour with Lori and Lisa
Pour a hot cuppa, pull up a chair, and settle in for thoughtful, curious, and unfiltered conversation. Each episode, Lori and Lisa unpack the news they’re paying attention to, explore culture and politics through a human lens, and share reflections on everyday life — with warmth, humor, and honesty.
This is a #SlowMedia podcast for listeners who want context over outrage, curiosity over certainty, and conversation over commentary. From current events and social issues to personal stories and fascinating guests, The Parlour is a space to think out loud, listen deeply, and enjoy the process along the way.
If you love original dialogue, lived experience, and kitchen-table conversations that connect the personal to the political, this is an invitation to your seat in the Parlour.
Thank you for joining us!
