Description
The Conversationalist is a no-rules roundtable hosted by Ryan MacDougall and Richard Lubin, with a rotating cast of friends and co-hosts. Every episode is a collision of hot takes, internet chaos, and unapologetic humor.
From viral headlines and pop-culture meltdowns to sports debates and absurd everyday stories, nothing is off the table. Expect raw opinions, hilarious tangents, and the kind of off-the-rails energy you’d only find in an unfiltered group chat.
Recorded out of Edmonton, powered by Spare Bedroom Studios. New episodes weekly.
