I have spoken on a very wide variety of podcasts, radio shows and make television appearances. I have a wide breadth of knowledge, am passionate and love the podcast medium. I am a flexible guest and willing to tackle the difficult, controversial and taboo questions. Authenticity is essential to me – I walk my talk so am willing to answer personal questions as well as from a professional view.
Here are some of comments about my speaking:
“What do you want your podcast to do – do you thrive on sound and fury or do you want to provoke thought, reflection and personal growth? If it’s the former Dr Lori Beth Bisbey isn’t for you. Listening to her engage with a forthright guest on my podcast and bring not just nuance to the conversation but also bring the other guests with her was a joy. It’s how conversations used to be – how they should be – about finding common ground and understanding. Every community needs a Lori Beth, better still several. They help us makes friends with each other and with ourselves. We don’t talk much about wisdom these days. We’re too wrapped up in mercurial cleverness. Wisdom is rooted in experience, compassion and humility. Lori Beth is a wise woman for the age of the podcast.” Jonathan Kent, Beyond Monogamy podcast.
“As a relationship expert and best selling author, I talk about and listen to a host of experts on the topics of love, relationships, sex, and intimacy. No one… and I mean NO ONE tackles these topics with more tact, tenacity – and without taboo – than Lori Beth. She’s the real deal and will leave you, your audience, and your event riveted.” Lisa Steadman, speaker, author, relationship expert
‘Dr Lori Beth is an exceptional voice in the landscape of love and sexuality because she truly believes that love is love, no matter what the form: chocolate, vanilla or fudge ripple!

I have a Rode USB microphone.
My schedule varies from week to week. I am used to working in lots of time zones hence the wide availability listed. I can be quite flexible as long as we are booking in advance and I can often fit in last minute recordings. I do my regular show live and love to be a guest on live shows so will work hard to fit them in.
