The Tipsy Exchange
The Tipsy Exchange is a comedy podcast hosted by besties Berly and LA, two self-proclaimed '80s babies who pour a drink, raise a toast, and talk about whatever's got them hooked. One week it's true crime and history's strangest mysteries. The next, it's haunted hotels, UFOs, pop culture, and deep dives into the movies and TV shows we grew up on. Every episode kicks off with a toast and runs on tangents, inside jokes, and a genuinely alarming number of sidebars. It all depends on the tipsy level.
Listening to The Tipsy Exchange is like pulling up a chair at happy hour with your funniest friends. We finish each other's sentences, call each other out, mispronounce everything with confidence, and thirst over Pedro Pascal with zero shame. We don't claim to be experts (though we do bring some on for our Ask the Expert episodes), but we do our research, we have a good time, and we'll always tell you what we really think.
Hang out with us! Leave us a rating and review on your favorite podcast app. It really does help new listeners find the show, and we read every one. And remember to follow the show!
Please drink responsibly.
