Real Talk with OVOV
What happens when Arizona leaders leave the podium and pull up a seat?
Real Talk with OVOV is where the people behind the titles, headlines, and policies come to have honest conversations about who they are, where they come from, and what’s happening in the communities they serve.
Hosted by Amber Rivera, each episode brings Arizona lawmakers, community leaders, changemakers, and everyday voices together for candid conversations about housing, education, culture, identity, opportunity, politics, and life in Arizona.
Expect laughter, tough questions, unexpected stories, different perspectives, and conversations that might make you say, “I never thought about it that way.”
This isn't just another political podcast.
It’s a place to pull up a seat, get comfortable, and get real about Arizona.
