About this listen

Where politics meets personality!


Hosted by comedian and political satirist Heather Gardner of @Heathergtv, Star Spangled Banter pulls up a chair for the sharpest, funniest, and most fearless voices shaping America's conversation. From senators to stand-ups, activists to agitators, Heather sits down with the people driving the headlines.


It's smart, it's spirited, and it's unafraid to find the humor in the headlines and the humanity behind the hot takes. Whether she's pressing a politician on their record, trading punchlines with a comedian, or giving an activist the mic they deserve, Heather brings curiosity, wit, and just enough mischief to keep every guest on their toes.

    Abdul El-Sayed: Life In America Shouldn’t Be THIS HARD & The Path To Medicare For All
    Apr 13 2026

    Host Heather Gardner sits down with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed — physician, public health expert, and U.S. Senate candidate from Michigan — to talk about why healthcare shouldn't bankrupt you, what one day of war could actually pay for, and why there hasn't been a Democratic doctor in the Senate since 1969.


    They also discuss Medicare for All, the corporate capture of both parties, why Democrats keep losing the plot, and what it means to be "fantastically better, not just less bad." No corporate PAC money. No talking points. Just someone who actually knows how the system works — and how to fix it.
