ALL ABOUT US
Meet Our Podcast Hosts
Three hosts from across the political spectrum, united by one mission: delivering unbiased truth that cuts through partisan spin.

Bryan adds a Democratic viewpoint along with his extensive broadcasting experience, spotting bias and driving honest conversations.
Together, we combine diverse ideologies, analytical rigor, and compelling storytelling to give independents the clear facts and real insights you need with no agenda, just progress.
Host: Lisa Singer
Lisa is the host and producer of Independent Times. Fueled by a lifelong passion for history and politics and an appreciation for America's brilliant but fragile democracy, Lisa brings a crucial non-partisan perspective. Her commitment to analysis began with an information-rich childhood and was cemented by a Political Science degree from Loyola University. She was driven to create the podcast after witnessing both political parties alienate the moderate majority. Drawing on her barrier-breaking success as the founder and director of the nation’s first 100% woman-owned Managed Service Provider (MSP), she recognized the urgent need for a new platform to bring Independent Voters together. Her 27 years in IT, an industry built on logic, identifying flawed systems, and delivering unvarnished facts, became the blueprint for Independent Times. This background ensures a fact-based, systematic approach to reporting that respects the values and power of the nation's largest voting bloc. Inspired by historical figures like FDR and his Fireside Chats, her goal is simple: clarity through informed conversation, bridging divides with honest, balanced, and unbiased reporting.

This background ensures she always connects the dots, turning complex information into clear, actionable understanding for the audience of Independent Times.
